 * the core function in /wp-includes/post-template.php (from line 1222) has changed;
 * try to use this code to change the words:
 *     ```
       function my_password_form() {
           global $post;
           $label = 'pwbox-'.( empty( $post->ID ) ? rand() : $post->ID );
           $o = '<form action="' . esc_url( site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=postpass', 'login_post' ) ) . '" method="post">
           ' . __( "To view this protected post, enter the password below:" ) . '
           <label for="' . $label . '">' . __( "Password:" ) . ' </label><input name="post_password" id="' . $label . '" type="password" size="20" /><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="' . esc_attr__( "Submit" ) . '" />
           </form>
           ';
           return $o;
       }
       add_filter( 'the_password_form', 'my_password_form' );
       ```
   
 * here is a good post how to do chnage only the words without interfering with 
   the actual function: [http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/password-protected-form/](http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/password-protected-form/)
