No, grub passwords only affect what GRUB can do.  If you can boot some
other way, you bypass it.  Or you could remove the drive and read it
with another computer.

To secure a drive, you need to encrypt it.  There are options to encrypt
a drive when you start the installation.  You need to go into
customising the drive partitioning.
