what do i have to do to get a firectory password protected?

Well, please be more specific. Do you want a password protected dirrectory online? In that case, use .htaccess. Do you want it so only certian users can access it? Read up on chmod and chown. If you just want to make it so the dirrectory is secured, then encrypt it :).
