 * I don’t really think you’ll be able to. Facebook is trying to communicate with
   your site to generate a preview, but you’re blocking Facebook from accessing 
   your site with a password.

 * You say “after you disabled the plugin”.
 * I believe Facebook caches the Open Graph data (title, image etc) for a period
   of time. When Password Protected is active, FaceBook cannot access your normal
   pages so it returns the details of the login page.
 * I have read you can force the Facebook Open Graph data cache to clear by entering
   the URL of the site here:

 * If you wanted Facebook to show some useful information when Password Protected
   is active, you could use the plugin’s `password_protected_login_head` action 
   hook to output some custom Open Graph meta tags as described here:
