ug report comlaining about the
alternate installation's grub password setup. It exists but it doesnt
use the md5 hash method of grub, but clear text. The password is stored
in menu.lst which is in 644 mode and everyone can read it.

Everyone can come around the root password with these steps:
By pressing 'e' in grub, step down to the kernel line and press 'e' again, then
simply add init=/bin/bash
Press enter and press 'b' to boot.
You will get a si
asy to configure feature. The
setup of the grub password should assist people, inform them about the
additional step of bios-boot configuration, inform them about the
remaining risk of physical access.
