# Can’t remove PPWP

 * Upon deactivating the toggle for ‘Sitewide Protection’ the landing page continues
   to display the password form. Although access to the webpage is granted by clicking
   Enter without having to submit the correct password (or any at all).
 * Tried uninstalling the plugin but the landing page continues to display a password
   form, minus the PPWP formatting.
 * No matter how I try to remove PPWP, there appears to remain traces of it so the
   landing page perpetually shows that a password is required to access it – very
   odd!
 * Not sure how else to try and remove it?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcant-remove-ppwp%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@hannington200](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannington200/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * As we’ve checked, your page seems to be cached somewhere.
 * You can verify this by adding the following parameter to your URL: /?=123123 (
   random number). By including this parameter, it will simulate your first-time
   access to this URL, bypassing any cached data.
 * Example: [http://myfootballpt.co.uk/?=123123](http://myfootballpt.co.uk/?=123123)
 * You’ll notice that the password form doesn’t appear.
 * Could you please help clear all of your cache, or alternatively, ask your hosting
   server to clear it if the caching is being done at the server level?
 * Let us know if it works.
