This seems like a behavior change in upstream GRUB, and due to us having
shipped it with upstream behavior for years now, I am not sure if still
want to go back to the 2014 status quo now that people have been exposed
to the new behavior for 10 years.
** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
Status: T
Behaviour in grub2 changed. To allow booting without superuser's
password one has to add "--unrestricted" to boot entry.
The problem was also discussed here in more detail:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840204
Additionally here's an official guide about that:
https://access.redhat.
Having the same problem on 16.04-dev version. Boot without password
works with ~Grub2.02 on Fedora but not Ubuntu.

This will need testing with an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04, to see what
explains this change of behavior.
As far as I can tell though; we didn't ever ship grub with
--unrestricted or other such options set.

I can confirm the bug! I had the same problem when upgrading from 12.04
to 14.04. Thankfully the --unrestricted option helped.
Please put the bug on high priority because users cannot boot anymore
because the password might be confidential (known only by
administrators) or users may have forgotten
