The best way to delve into others Linux machine is by editing the grub.

Many will start by, editing the line ro quite splash as rw init=/bin/bash during the startup (usually by pressing button e on the list). Second is using the recovery mode.

To secure my Linux OS I am doing two things:

  1. Setting a GRUB password
  2. The recovery mode is disabled

After doing the 2 steps is that possible to break Linux user password by bypassing grub2 ?

Yes, definitely. All an attacker needs to do is boot off a live cd or usb key. They boot into their own OS and mount your disk.
