Actually, I didn't select the boot password option. In fact, when I boot up, I go directly to a GRUB prompt, not a password challenge prompt. If I hit the [TAB] button, I can get a list of commands like: Kernel, boot, etc...
I tried typing boot, but then it says to get the Kernel loaded... I type Kernel and it asks for a name... It's like the days when I would boot LiLo and get the Lo on boot...very frustrating. I am starting a reinstall with ext2 as the boot partition to see if that works. If not I may reinstall with LiLo instead, but I'm hoping that someone has a simeple fix. thanks On install, you selected to "use password" for grub. Now everytime you boot up, it'll prompt for the password. You may have to reinstall to get rid of it. During re-install, don't use the password option for Grub.
