Post Grub 2 Password Protection in Debian 8.

Hello.

But, I'm afraid about my system can't boot. Any idea?

Tnx.

Confirm that your PC can boot from another media such as CD, DVD and/or USB media, before you set a password.
For example,
Super Grub2 disk: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
kexec-loader: http://www.solemnwarning.net/kexec-loader/
PlopKexec: https://www.plop.at/en/plopkexec.html

In case you messed Grub2, to repair bad situation of Grub2:
