Hello,
If he wants a password to get into his program, he could control it with the OS, or he could wriite/use an encryption module to prompt the user for a password, and then write the encrypted string to a file. Then, when access time comes around, have him read in the value, and then do a compare to see if they match or not.
This can be done. If security is not all important, and this is just an exercise, or proof-of-concept type of thing, you can store the password in clear text. Nothing more than a a file open -- read -- compare exercise.

For future reference, please be aware that email addresses in posts are against the rules and extremely likely to be removed by the moderators. If you quote the email address, that doubles the work required to clean up the mess because the mod has to edit both the original post and the quote in your post. So please snip judiciously if you must reply to posts that break the rules.
