HTML Password Lock can work with Website X5 by Incomedia Software. The only problem is that you cannot use the built-in FTP Website X5 uploader to upload the locked files to your web server. You must upload the locked files with a standalone FTP client software of your own(such as the free FTP client software FileZilla at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/).

Follow the steps below and you will be able to password protect a page designed with Website X5.

Step 1:

Use Incomedia Website X5 to create the web pages, include the web pages you want to protect. In the last step, choose the "Export website on disk" option, and publish your web files to a local folder on your computer.

Step 2:

You will need to know the path where the site has been saved locally on your computer, then you can use HTML Password Lock to password protect the HTML files.

Launch HTML Password Lock.

In Step 1, click on the "Add file" button, browse to the folder where the site has been saved locally on your computer, select the HTML file(s) you want to protect, and add each one to the file list.

In Step 2, define username and password. If this is the first time you use the software, you can click on the "Next" button to skip Steps 3 and 4, keeping the default options.

In the Last Step, click on the "Lock" button. The locked file will be listed on the file list.

Select the file on the file list, double-click it or click on the "Test" button to open it with your web browser and test the password protection. If you open the file with Internet Explorer, click on the yellow alert bar on top of the web page, select "Allow Blocked Content" in the popup window, and click on the "Yes" button.

For a detailed description of this step, please refer to Quick Start.

Step 3:

Now that the HTML file(s) with the original name have been locked, the backup copies are saved as *.PreLock at the same directory.

Upload the locked file to your web server with a FTP client software of your own(such as the free FTP client software FileZilla at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/).
