You may have an error somewhere, since as you have it, password01 should
definitely not be enabling users to edit.

But you also have a misunderstanding: if you want password02 to enable
editing of pages that are read-protected, you also have to also make
password02 a read-password.

Maybe you should review http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PasswordsAdmin?
