You cannot just go to single user mode because going to single user normally requires you to enter the root password.
I can't test now; I don't have a local CentOS system, but I don't remember ever needing a password to get into single mode on any Linux system. Am I right, or is my brain falling apart?
I could be confused. I jump back and forth between Linux, Solaris, and HP/UX.
Default is no password, but you *should* set a grub password.
