I just wanted to know if i could lock part of my site with a password

Dead easy m8! I dunno about using dreamweaver to do it, but the method I use employs the use of a file uploaded to the applicable directory via ftp called .HTACCESS

There's a pretty detailed tutorial here: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/3

Well, if you have FTP you can always delete the .htaccess file and all will return to normal. =D

It is a powerful and potentially dangerous file. In some extreme cases you could lock yourself out of your domain completely, including the use of back-end tools such as cPanel and FTP. (Elise once took her site offline for several hours unintentionally after changing the code on a .htaccess file. Fortunately her web host tech support came up with the proper code that got the file and the site working again.)

It is very dangerous,FTP can help,so do it carefully
