Force systems with kernel option "quiet" to display prompt for password

Browse Source 
On systems that utilize TTY for password entry, if the kernel 
option "quiet" is set, the system would appear to freeze on a 
blank screen, when in fact it is waiting for password entry 
from the user.

Since TTY is the fallback method, this has no effect on systemd 
or plymouth password prompting.

By temporarily setting "printk" to "7", running the command, 
then resuming with the original "printk" state, the user can 
see the password prompt.
