Are you sure?  How can you determine if the public is able to edit?

I just tried accessing the site and was unable to edit pages --
it always prompted me for a password, at least for the pages I tried.

Keep in mind that once you enter the admin password into a browser, 
you won't be prompted again for any passwords until logging out 
(via ?action=logout) or completely closing all of the browser windows.
