[pmwiki-users] DefaultPassword['edit']

[Randy Brown]

Yes, that will protect the page from editing. To verify that: try  
putting the line you suggested in your address bar!

You can also put ?action=crypt on any pmwiki page to get a form that  
lets you create an encrypted password. Then you can put the encrypted  
password in the config.php, so the original won't be visible to anyone  
with access to config.php. Of course, then you have to remember the  
password.

For more info about passwords see:
