Is there an easy way to password protect a webpage without a use of a database?

You should be able to do this using .htaccess if you're just wanting to do a very simple, but effective protection. You'll need ssh / telnet access to the server directory to do this however.

Will that be for anyone who wants to access the files? Please give more info.

Well for starters what operating system is your web server running? If it is appache then yes, either .htaccess or .htpasswd are where you can do such things. But if it is IIS, then you have to do different things. I would suggest either posting your query in the Apache forum or one of the Microsoft forums depending on which it is.

If it is Apache, there is a thread here [webmasterworld.com...] that has a few usefull links.
