Note: Will not ajax-ily reveal comments and such that are also hidden before a proper password is provided.

Awesome code here, i had to change line 48 :
new WP_Query( "p={$_POST['pid']}" )
to:
new WP_Query( "page_id={$_POST['pid']}" )
in order to make it work with pages..

I think you can use, 'post_type' => 'any', to make it work with all post_types!

Thanks for this.
