Need to remove grub password

  Why not just remove/disable the password instead of trying to set a new one from your live-cd environment?

  Because I try not to assume.. When using the live-cd environment, /etc/grub.d/ is the wrong path.. That will be the live-cd grub files.

  The file may be /etc/grub.d/40_custom or 00_header

  P.S.
  grep password /etc/grub.d/*
