Password protect 1 page

[Chef]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me.

I have a small website and I want to make one particular area of it private so that only my friends can read it.

I would like to password protect one page that has links to other pages that I want to keep private, but I don't want my friends to have to type in passwords for each page visited.

Equally I do not want any of my friends to be able to go directly to any of the linked pages without entering a password in the first page.

I hope that made sense !

Is this possible ?

On another note, does anyone know of a script that will send out a password to someone who fills out a form of some description ?

Many thanks for reading.

Sorry I think that is a bit too advanced for me.

I should have mentioned that I am a complete amateur and that I am using Frontpage.

Thanks anyway !
