Based on the information in the man page of loader.conf, I set the password in /boot/loader.conf.
On entering boot menu it doesnot prompt for a password, Am I missing anything?
password Protect boot menu with a password without interrupting
autoboot process. The password should be in clear text
format. If a password is set, boot menu will not appear
until any key is pressed during countdown period specified
by autoboot_delay variable or autoboot process fails. In
both cases user should provide specified password to be
able to access boot menu.
