  If I password protect a blog and give others the password, can they access the blog without registering with wordpress?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can only password protect pages or posts with a password. You can read more about this at http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-visibility/ and http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#password-protect-a-post

  If you want to temporarily hide your blog instead, please use privacy option so only you and logged-in members of the blog can view it.
