Hi again lembas,
Hello,

So I installed the latest Trisquel 7 image and grub2 requested a username and password by default when trying to boot any other OS other than Trisquel. All my attemps at the credintials resulted in being redirected by to the main grub menu. Here's what I did to get around this issue.

I opened a terminal and entered the following command to see the username and password credentials:

sudo cat /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD

Then I entered the following command to edit the 01_PASSWORD file.

gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD

In order to stop grub from requesting a username and password I commented out all the lines or you can delete the lines. Then save and type:

sudo update-grub2

Hope this helps other people.

Steve
