Main.HomePage?action=attr should  tell you if any password is set,
and were (at page level, group level or site level).
If there  is no text right of the field there is no password.
You could double check by opening the page file Main.HomePage
in the wiki.d directory with  a text editor.
If a password is set on the page you find something like

passwdedit=$1$eu2.Pe5.$wXUUmqRvdwYCZ1YHmrqPI0
or
passwdread=.......

Removing such lines will remove the password, same as entering the
word 'clear' (without the '') into the attribute field and saving.
