As an aside, Compliance Sheriff offers this functionality in the form of an additionally-licensed browser plug-in called Compliance Deputy. Reports are identical to what you get inside the CS system, but are delivered directly on the desktop.

SortSite will let you scan password protected pages without any additional scripting. It runs as a local application on your computer (Windows or Mac, but I have not tried their Mac version yet). You simply browse to the page where you want to start scanning, log in if needed, then start scanning. The price is right too.
