   Can somebody give me some reference on:

   How to check if the post/page is password protected and whether the viewer has access (entered correct password).

   Ive been googling for hours now. :( . I was hoping theres some functions like.

   is_password_protected();
   and
   is_password_ok()
   anythin like that. :)

   Thanks.

   How to check if the post/page is password protected

   2.5.1 doesnt have post_password_required() function so I think you can use ↓ (inside WP posts loop)

   if(!empty($post->post_password) and $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password)){
    // this post is password protected
   }

   ... whether the viewer has access (entered correct password).

   if (isset($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH])
    and $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] == $post->post_password){
     // correct pass
   }

   Could it be something like...

   if(!empty($post->post_password) and $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password)){
    // here what to tell the visitor: it's a protected page blah
   }
   the_content(); // here we ask WP to ask for a password, content should be blank
   
   if (isset($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH])
    and $_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] == $post->post_password){
     // here it's the protected stuff...
   }
