Above the 'Load Operating System' menu entry you should also add a GRUB password, like so:
</p>
- <pre><b><i>set superusers=&quot;root&quot;
- password_pbkdf2 root grub.pbkdf2.sha512.10000.711F186347156BC105CD83A2ED7AF1EB971AA2B1EB2640172F34B0DEFFC97E654AF48E5F0C3B7622502B76458DA494270CC0EA6504411D676E6752FD1651E749.8DD11178EB8D1F633308FD8FCC64D0B243F949B9B99CCEADE2ECA11657A757D22025986B0FA116F1D5191E0A22677674C994EDBFADE62240E9D161688266A711

+ MAKE SURE TO DO THIS ON grubtest.cfg *BEFORE* DOING IT ON grub.cfg.
+ Then select the menu entry that says <i>Switch to grubtest.cfg</i> and test that it works.
+ Then copy that to grub.cfg once you're satisfied.
+ WHY? BECAUSE AN INCORRECTLY SET PASSWORD CONFIG MEANS YOU CAN'T AUTHENTICATE, WHICH MEANS 'BRICK'.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ (emphasis added, because it's needed. This is a common roadblock for users)

Note that the above entry specifies user 'root'; this is just a username for GRUB. You don't even need to use root.
