Default Password

To set a password to open a document:

- In Word 2007, click the Office button | Prepare | Encrypt Document.

- In Word 2003, click Tools | Options, Security tab.

You don't mention which version of Word you have.
For 2003 and prior - Tools, Protect Document.
For 2007 - Several different level check out the Help article for Password.

Hope this helps

Default Password

In the FileSaveAs dialog, use the Tools pulldown and select the General
Options item and in the General Options dialog, you can set a password to
Open or a password to Modify the document.
