 * I tried to password protect a page using the “page password” option on the right
   hand side of the page.
 * It appears to accept my password, as when I go to view the page it asks me for
   the password. I type it in and nothing happens.
 * I tried creating a new page, changing the password, anything that I felt was 
   a simple fix.
 * So the question: How do I password protect pages within my blog?

 * Same here.
 * I password protected a page and mostly it wouldn’t let me in, despite the correct
   password. Sometimes though the page is accessible without password, even from
   a computer that where never before a password had been entered (i.e. no cookie
   or so).

 * Solved the issue.
 * Problem was: WP-Cache. Despite it being deactivated I noticed a “served by WP-
   Cache” comment in the source. So I removed the plugin completely by FTP. That
   did the trick.
 * MODERATORS: There are many unresolved threads around this issue. Could you verify
   my solution and get back on them?
