How to password protect a page?

[old dog 2]

I am writing HTML for a web site that is a member owned RV Park. I need to put a section behind a member's only page. The page would need to be password protected. The password would be the same for all members.
I have found several good tutorials that have got me started. But nothing on password protecting. Please would someone point me to a good book or better yet a online tutorial that covers this.
Thanks!

If you are running Apache you can use htaccess to protect the page (http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protecting-your-pages-with-htaccess/). Most hosts would have this feature available in the Control Panel part of the site.
