David,
What is it you are trying to achieve? Seems a strange request that can probably be achieved with another approach

well, you’re correct.what I’m trying to do, is create private views or views docs. that only own users have created.
but I cannot achieve.
so I though to use pasword to open it.
user david only can interact with david’s users and so on…

David,
You need to look into Readers and Authors fields
Passwords are used to gain access/authenticate to the server typically - not usually at database/view/document level

so how can I achieve this?could you explain it to me?
I’m a bit puzzle with private views or whatever to show those docs that a user created.

Open up your Domino Designer help database. Go to the Search view. Search for “readers and authors fields”. Include the quotes in your search string! In the results list, locate the document named “Readers and authors fields”. Open that document. Click on the links in that document.
Note: this has nothing to do with private views. Private views are not a reliable security feature, and there is no facility in Notes or Domino for putting password access on a view, either public or private.
Reader and author fields are reliable security. (Note: sometimes, these are known as readernames and authornames fields). If you use them properly, then users will only be able to see the documents that they created themselves – and this will be true in all views, not just in private views.
Also, you may want to consider reading a book on Notes and Domino development to get more up to speed on the concepts of Domino security. There are several good ones to choose from, and knowing the concepts better will help you interpret the answers that people give you here.

You could achieve this using Single Category embedded views!But you definitely must look into the Readers and Authors fields as Mike has suggested.

what does it mean? can you explain it?

Readers and Authors fields are a very basic feature of Lotus Notes development - one of the many ways you can implement security in Lotus Notes. Search the Domino Help file and you will see what I and Mike mean.
