Readers can not access Password protected posts/pages
-
I have one page set up with password protection on my blog.
Some of my readers are not able to access the area.
They use the correct password but can’t gain access.
There seems to be no tie to certain ISP’s etc working/causing problems. Also cookies/history are cleared when attempting access again.
One reader mentioned skimresources (which I know is now related to ads allowed).
So can I get some help with why people can not access the password secure page on my blog?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I will post the whole checklist that you can in turn share with those who are having trouble by emailing it to them.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

(d) For those who have WordPress.com accounts try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions
4. You can use this link to see if your Flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and download and install the latest version of flash.
5. Try using another browser.
