Do something like:

<?
if($_POST["psswrd"]=="yourpassword")
{
echo 'your content';
}
else 
echo "Wrong password";
?>

Save it as filname.php
and the form will look something like:

<form action="filename.php" method="post">
password: <input type="password" name="psswrd" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

You can put the page locked with database and password.
What you need is ACL. or usergroups and password protected directories or files.
In cpanel you can straight away do that but better way to program is to use database and ACL.

Note that you can easily password protect folders using cPanel. Using this mechanism (HTTP Basic authentication), you can easily give different people different passwords, so you can revoke one person's credentials without impacting others'.
