Simple one person password portected page

[Anron]

I am clueless... I have built a web site but I want the home page to be
password protected, but I only want one person to have access to it. I will
give them the user name and password. I don't want to create a registration
page, but all the tutorials I have seen say I must make one. I just want one
person to have the password and user name. How do I do this??

Create a login page with the form action set back to the login page.
Then place the following code at the top of the login page, with UserName
and Password the names of the text boxes in the login form.

<%
If Len(Request("UserName")) > 0 Then

Dim CorrectUserName, CorrectPassword
CorrectUserName = "TestName"
CorrectPassword = "TestPass"

If Trim(Request("UserName")) = CorrectUserName And Trim(Request("Password"))
= CorrectPassword Then
Session("CorrectUser") = CorrectUserName
Response.Redirect("Homepage.asp")
End If

End If
%>

Then on the homepage put the following code at the top:

<%
If Session("CorrectUser") <> "TestName" Then
Response.Redirect("LoginPage.asp")
End If
%>

Hope this helps (and works) as I havent tried it out or tested it.

The only thing I don't understand is the part when you said " with UserName
and Password the names of the text boxes in the login form."
I haven't ever messed with the forms in dreamweaver b4 so I am a huge newbe
when it comes to forms.

On page use something like:

<form name="frmLogin" id="frmLogin" action="LoginPage.asp" method="post">
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td>UserName</td>
<td><input name="UserName" type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td><input name="Password" type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input name="btnSubmit" type="submit" id="btnSubmit"
value="Login"></td>
</tr>
</table
</form>

Again, this might not be 100% correct as I have just done it off the top of
my head.

ok thanks I will give it a try tonight when I get home. I will let you know how it goes.

[Anron]

ok I have a really big Newbie question. Where do I insert the asp script.
Could you please tell me how and where to insert the script. I know I can copy
and paste but I don't know where to copy and paste too. Is there a specific
location I have to paste it in? And I save it as an .asp right? Or do I create
a new dynamic page under the file new menu?

[Anron]

Ok I don't think the code you gave me worked cuz I found this code in the
dreamweaver help <p>This page was created at <b>
<%= Time %>
</b> on the computer running ASP.</p>


and it worked just fine.
When I try the code you posted, the page won't display I get the http page
won't display page.

I read the links that you posted. They talk about creating a registration page
and a database. I just want to create a simple one user and one password login
system. I haven't been able to find anything that simple yet.

Have you an email address where I can send you two files demonstrating what
you need?

If so, when you are posting it, use something like below to stop your email
address being grabbed by email bots:
