Password protected is not the same as encrypted.

I understand a password protection as the software refusing to start or 
open a file before you enter the password. However, a hacker that could 
access the file independently can read it without breaking sweat, as the 
file itself is not encrypted.

For example, your computer account is password protected. But a person 
that gets your hard disk can read all your files.
