Default Password Protect is not protecting the document?

I go in to "Tools" and password protect my letter, but when I try to edit the
letter I can type in all the new fields and it is not protected.

What do I need to do?

What are you setting a password on? If it's a protected form, then the
password keeps you from unprotecting the form, so that you can type only in
the form fields. If you've required a password to modify, you can still type
in the document, but you won't be allowed to save it without changing the
name. A password to open will require the password to open the document.
