GoLive CS2 password encryption

I have been working on a website in GoLive CS2 and have created a password protected page but was having trouble linking to it (for various reasons... linking from within components and from multiple places).
I have decided to do away with all that and just link to the password protected page from one button on one page. Both the protected page and the page I am linking from are both located in the same directory. However, now when I make the link and test it I get a error message that says my password is incorrect. I have tried it over and over, making different kinds of links. The result is the same. Could it be that I have just been trying to set up the page too many times and it is now disallowing my password?
Help.
Thanks.
