Official server password protected after Jan 12th update?

[wangmauler 0]

The server in question is:

DayZ US 3664224 HC (Public)

Hey all. I'm pretty new to DayZ, and have been learning to play (alone) on this official server the past month. After the January 12th update to servers, I went to log in, and it's now password protected. It seems to be the only one protected. It was not password protected previously. I have a lot of bases and items hidden in many spots. Anyone know what's up and how I can get back in?
