Barbara I would publish a login/ K2 user module on a test page using the robots = nofollow like Peter said.
Then I would use that page to login to the forntend (if you already have a k2 user module disregard the above).
I would then publish the item as special or registered, apply any changes if needed and the change the access level back to Public in order to be accesible to everyone.
