   I'd like to change the default text that comes up with password protected posts or pages.

   Currently it reads:
   

   This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:

   I'd like to change this, but I have no idea where I could find this. Anyone?

   I found the solution here:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/135584?replies=6

   It was a while ago and probably an older version of WordPress but it may work. Give it a try.

   Its not great though because it is a core files hack which is not a great solution.

   For WordPress 2.0-2.1, /wp-includes/template-functions-post.php

   For WordPress 2.2+, /wp-includes/post-template.php

   You will find the text in that file. :)

   Add the following to your Funtions.php file under your theme folder:

   // Password Protected Page Message
   function custom_password_form($form) {
     $subs = array(
       '#<p>This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:</p>#' => '<p>Change this for New Message.</p>',
       '#<form(.*?)>#' => '<form$1 class="passwordform">',
       '#<input(.*?)type="password"(.*?) />#' => '<input$1type="password"$2 class="text" />',
       '#<input(.*?)type="submit"(.*?) />#' => '<input$1type="submit"$2 class="button" />'
     );
   
     echo preg_replace(array_keys($subs), array_values($subs), $form);
   }
   
   add_filter('the_password_form', 'custom_password_form');
