Two issues here: 

First of all, Steve meant "edit" in the general way, not as an
application name. As the actual command line I would suggest

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

(using sudo can lead to problems with graphical applications, and gksudo
avoids this. "gedit" is the default Ubuntu/Gnome text editor with.

And second, I don't know why sudo didn't accept your password. Is
capslock on? Did you (correctly) use your normal user password?
