 * Where do you edit the “This post is password protected. To view it please enter
   your password below:” thing?
 * I assume it’s in the index.php template, but I just don’t see it there.
 * Thanks

 * That code is in template-functions-post.php, found in wp-includes. It’s the first
   function declared in the file, get_the_password_form().

 * Thanks, why doesn’t it let you use HTML in it?
 * And where to you change the “enter password to view comments” thing?

 * Hmmm, I’m not sure I understand the question. That particular function is just
   the form that asks you for the password. What are you trying to achieve? Did 
   you forget a password or …?
