    Boot up from any LiveCD and mount / ( /boot, if you have one ). Open boot/grub/menu.lst ( or grub.conf ) file and put # sign before 'password --md5 <password-hash>' line.
    Code:
    
#password --md5 <password-hash>
    Save file and reboot machine. GRUB wont prompt for password.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
