It should be printed out, something like: *** BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian x-x-x-x) Built-in shell (xxx) *** If that's what you get it cames out when there is a problem when booting, for instance, a missing kernel module for the hard disk controller, a bad hard disk identifier at GRUB's menu file, etc. So instead having you no option at all and display a black screen (because the system is halted), we are presented with the BusyBox. >>> How I can change the behavior (to ask for password before granting >>> root shell)? >> >>If you refer to busybox, AFAIK is not a pure root's shell but a self- >>contained, separated and limited environment to run some diagnostic >>tools within your machine so you can easily recover the system when >>something is broken. > > That's good, but how I can provide password prompting?

For example, when you go fall into "init 1" you are prompted with root's password to get into the maintenance console or continue by pressing Ctrl +D, so here you are indeed asked for root's password because you are inside the full shell and not inside the limited BusyBox environment.
