The grub password is the one you have to use only if you need the grub command line during boot up, or else you wouldn't have to use one.

What distro is it?

try giving a space or just enter for the password. If not, boot with a live-cd and mount the files system and delete the password field in /etc/passwd. try searching for ways to deal with it.
