+<p>This field sets the "access" password for this exercise. The
+ password can be up to 10 characters long. The password can be reset at any
+ time during the workshop. Whether students are asked for the password to
+ enter the workshop is determined by the "Use Password" option.</p>

+<p align="center"><b>Use Password</b></p>
+
+<p>Normally a workshop is open, that is if a workshop is visible, students can
+ see the contents of the workshop. The availability of an
+ workshop within the course is normally best controlled through the
+ Visible/Hide activity feature.</p>
+
+ <p>The Use Password option is used to associate an
+ "access" password with the workshop. There may be
+ occasions when it is necessary to password protect a workshop. For
+ example, a workshop may be used with several groups of students in a
+ course and each group is set the workshop at different times. The access
+ password is used to prevent the "second" group of students, say,
+ from doing the workshop once the workshop has been opened up for the
+ "first" group.</p>
