 I did actually as follows:

#boot=/dev/sda

{.........

password --md5
<encryp_pwd_PC>

hiddenmenu


title Fedora (the latest kernel)
   password --md5 <Fedora_encryp_pwd>
    lock
   .............................

title Fedora (previous kernel)
    password --md5 <Fedora_encryp_pwd>
    lock
   
.........................

title WinXP
   password --md5 <WinXP_encryp_pwd> 
    lock
    ...................................

Here actually I have to press first 'p' in any case to select any OS and then after entering the main common password (encrypted PC password). As password --md5 line is coming in each section, so again I have to type that encrypted password (different from the previous PC password) and then I come to login screen. Though I have use password --md5 command separately in each titles section, but if I omit, I need to enter the password once just after pressing 'p', which has become mandatory for the above case, even if to select is WinXP.
