[pmwiki-users] Whole Site Unprotected - not asking for password when editing side bar etc.

[Randy Brown]

Your config file sets up a default password for admin privileges so  
that only someone with that password can change who can edit a page.  
But it doesn't restrict who can edit a page.

One way to set a password for the sidebar (or any page) is to go to  
the page and append "?action=attr" to the URL. You'll have to enter  
your admin password. Then you'll see where you can set the edit  
password. There are other approaches if you want to set edit passwords  
for multiple pages.

Hope that helps.
