I posted a question to the forums last summer, never got a response, and now I have gotten back to this project because it became a high priority again.
I have discovered a system to which I cannot access through the GRUB menu to the root user account, while attempting to use the "p" option.
Absolutely nothing happens when I hit the "p" key while sitting at the GRUB menu, but it appears to be working when I am attempting to login to the machine locally as root through the Gnome Desktop Login window.
All I see is the following typical text:
Press enter to boot the selected OS or 'p' to enter a password to unlock the next set of features.
As I indicated before however, hitting the [p] key does nothing for me at all.

Re: CentOS-6.6 GRUB menu "p" option does nothing
The solution to this was not an obvious one really, but it was a very simple one ---
The keyboard's [p] key was not functioning properly. I determined this by plugging in a different keyboard and right away I could complete the tasks I needed; through which the GRUB password for access to the single-user mode was pinnacle. What was weird was the fact that the other keys [up_arrow] and {down_arrow] did work.
I am marking this problem as [SOLVED].
