Amazing problem of /boot

[Parshwa Murdia]

Ok, i really got confused. I have some other basic doubts which are as
follows:

1. If by mistake or unfortunately, the password is typed wrong two or three
times at the time while PC restarts (the password set via BIOS), are there
chances that the system may be locked or any other problem may come? and the
same question for grub.conf encrypted passwords.

2. For disabling Ctrl+Alt+Del from restarting computer in Console mode, all
we have to do is uncommenting the line:

ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now

in the /etc/inittab file. But my /etc/inittab file yields the output:

*****

# inittab is only used by upstart for the default runlevel.
#
# ADDING OTHER CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
#
# System initialization is started by /etc/event.d/rcS
#
# Individual runlevels are started by /etc/event.d/rc[0-6]
#
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/event.d/control-alt-
delete
#
# Terminal gettys (tty[1-6]) are handled by /etc/event.d/tty[1-6] and
# /etc/event.d/serial
#
# For information on how to write upstart event handlers, or how
# upstart works, see init(8), initctl(8), and events(5).
#
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have
networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault:

*****

where there is no line as '

ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now'.

So how could it be done?

thx.
