  I need to lock my website with a password and make it all private.
  I know how to do this per post, but I need it done on all.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi,

  See the Privacy Settings support page, and its Private section, for relevant information and instructions. The Private setting makes your site open only to those who’ve accepted your invitation. You invite people to a view a private site as described in the Adding and Removing Viewers on a Private Site section of the Invite People to Your Site support page.

  No password is involved. Invited viewers will be able to visit the site if they’re logged into their account. Others attempting to visit will find a private site notice. It’s not clear to me whether any user role may be assigned to a user on a private site, or only the Viewer role.
