Question setting boot password

When I installed SUSE Linux 11.4 I chose automatic login, when I boot the system I do not need to enter a password.
How do I change this, so that I am asked for a password when booting GRUB ? Thanks.

Alternatively, you could enable log-in. Using a password at log-in and using one for Grub are, of course, two different things.
