As on when I boot it from CDROM, it never ask for any password, and I think once you boot it from any server which is working as boot server I think ideally it shouldn't ask for password, because you are not logging to that system you are taking help of that system to boot some other system in environment . Isn't?
I am sure you are at the right place and you will be getting better view then mine

DESCRIPTION
systemd-ask-password-console.service is a system service that queries the user for system passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and
SSL certificate passphrases) on the console. It is intended to be used during boot to ensure proper handling of passwords necessary for
boot. systemd-ask-password-wall.service is a system service that informs all logged in users for system passwords via wall(1). It is
intended to be used after boot to ensure that users are properly notified.
See the developer documentation[1] for more information about the system password logic.
Note that these services invoke systemd-tty-ask-password-agent(1) with either the --watch --console or --watch --wall command line
parameters.
