what is the difference password protected and private?
I have used both on my site.
Private hides the content from the public completely. It is for your eyes only (or for those who have permission to log in to your site to view it).
Password Protect - is not visible to the public. Instead a message appears: "Please enter your password".
If your site has multiple admins, they can see and do everything, including making your private post public - so be careful.

Thanks! Is there a way to tie all pages to a site to a password from the home pages and when one entered thru home page can get to all pages. But if one googles and happens to find a page (right now will be backed doored into the site without a password). How do one prevent the back door?
If I understand your follow up question, you are describing a membership plugin. There is a free plugin called S2Member. The plugin gives you the ability to assign levels to your various pages. If you want some pages available via Google search, you can do this via the plugin.
Best Regards,
