As someone earlier let me know about the encrypting of passwords, I did the following:
after becoming the root, used the command:
md5crypt
to get the encrypted string of passwords for using in /boot/grub/grub.conf This is the password which is NOT the password of the user who logs-in. But while rebooting, while entering this password (when prompted in the black screen), if I press Ecs, I come to the choices of OS and at that time, if press 'e', it says me to edit through the grub, but then I press 'd' to remove the following two lines (which are just below the name of the OS in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file):-
password --md5 $1$X58Kw/$v71Qlprzt8f4U9uOu46nk0
lock
and after that I press 'b' to boot without entering the encrypted password during the booting time.
If this is the case, anyone can press 'e' and then remove those two line and then 'b' to boot without ever entering the encrypted passwords, then what would be the purpose of encrypting that? It would be okay for trespassers too!
