 Once a password is set, it's not possible to unset it. The password is
 explicitly prevented from being set when it's an empty string:

 {{{
 if ( ! empty( $schema['properties']['password'] ) && isset(
 $request['password'] ) && '' !== $request['password'] ) {
   $prepared_post->post_password = $request['password'];
   ...
 }}}

 Is there a reason for this? Not sure if I'm missing something.
