Ubunite Classic: How to Change your System user password & Secure your Boot loader on Ubuntu

[ralph1bart]

Great Info! You can password (+encript) protect grub internaly but screw that up and you've got a problem. Besides, somebody that can comfortably edit grub syntax doesnt really need the "installed" boot loader to get in. Gotta try this out. Thanks!

The security tab on startupmanager is gone. I use Ubuntu 9.10 (startupmanager in Ubuntu 9.04 did have a security tab!).

Is there a way to get the startupmanager security tab back?
