      Description of problem:

      How can we set a password single user mode for OCP nodes

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

       

      How reproducible:

      all the time

      Steps to Reproduce:

      Sorry, this is not a bug, but more of a question how we can set a password to access single user mode from a console.  I was unable to find a category for question.
      
      1. From the console/idrac/bmc, Boot or reboot a server
      2. When we see the grub menu for Redhat, we type 'e'
      3. On the line that begins with Linux, we append the word 'single' at the end of the line.
      4. ctrl-x
      
      

      Actual results:

      able to access the node without having to enter a password

      Expected results:

      a password prompt
