well there are a few ways to tackle this ... the two that stand out the most to me are the following ...

In your control panel you can password protect files that are on the host and you can set a username/password, and that will be the same for each visitor that enters the site.

Alternatively you can use server side scripting to do the whole password thing ... something like PHP, ASP.Net, or something similar ... it also depends on what type of host you have ... does your host support PHP? or does it support ASP.Net? or does it support none of the above?

I can create the PHP log in for you which would guide you through the installation of the database and setting up the users...

Do you still need the script? Or did you find some other solution?
