Will having a password protected page mean I will not get indexed?

If I have a password protected page, can the search engine still index it?

it just depending upon strength and authorities of your page !
and is Sitemap is active or not !
just a Like Example is SenukeX Forums is if you will go on Forums then it will ask for Password but if you will checkout any thread using Google Cache then you can check it fully and it shows login by GoogleBot

no it doesn't mean unless you have a code in your html that restricts the search engine robot not to visit the page,that is when it will not visit the page

I think the crawlers of search engines do not need the password or anything because they are equipped with the facility to see parts of the web page. I don’t think the crawler will be seeing the entire web page because it is time-consuming and crawlers have a lot of work to do. From what I understand the site will be checked for the items that the search engine needs like the title, size of the content, tags (keywords) and the date of posting.
