    I know people has asked this before, but I can’t get anything working :s
    All I want to do is use the built in password protection for a page.

    I set it up, navigate to the page and enter the password. then in the nav bar i get this :

    wp-login.php?action=postpass

    As its a test page, you can go here and see for yourselves.

    What exactly did you do do create this password-protection? By default, WordPress does not generate a “Login” button.

    Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Twelve theme with all plugins deactivated?

    Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    Your .htaccess file is fine but it’s just possible that the problem is being caused by changes that your hosts have made to the server.

    Many hosts experienced problems due to mass attacks recently and re-configured the security on their servers as a result. Your hosts may be one of them. Try contacting them about it.
