I've just been through this myself today...

 

Assuming you're running apache, edit your .httpd.conf :

 

In your root directory directive <directory /> replace the term "None with "AuthConfig Limit" after AllowOverride (no apostrophes needed)

 

Then make a password file:

 

>htpasswd -c {path to where you want to keep the file}/.htpasswd-oscom {your name here}

 

Then add to the bottom of .httpd.conf :

 

<Directory ~path to your protected directory>

AuthName "Oscommerce Admin"

AuthGroupFile location of .htpasswd-oscom{/i}

AuthType Basic

Require user your name here

</Directory>

 

You might have some troubles with losing buttons, but see my post of this morning and you should be ok hopefully.

In your control panel thru which you manage your website you will find password protect to protect folder or you can ask your service provider.
