Variable

First off, we must have some variables;

new Locked[MAX_PLAYERS];

This creates a new variable that determines if a player is viewing a locked skin. Make sure you put it outside of all callbacks, preferably at the top of your script.

[edit]

Add Classes

Now lets add some classes.

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    AddPlayerClass(221, 0, 0, 0, 130, 24, 300, 0, 0, 0, 0); //Class 0 - Not passworded
    AddPlayerClass(212, 0, 0, 0, 130, 24, 300, 0, 0, 0, 0); //Class 1 - Not passworded
    AddPlayerClass(199, 0, 0, 0, 130, 24, 300, 0, 0, 0, 0); //Class 2 - Passworded
    return 1;
}

Okay great, now we have some player classes to protect.

[edit]

Determining if a class is locked

Remember that 'Locked[MAX_PLAYERS]' variable we created earlier? Time to use it! If a player views a protected skin, we will set 'Locked[playerid]' to 1. If the skin they see isn't protected, we can set it to 0.

public OnPlayerRequestClass(playerid, classid)
{
    switch(classid)
    {
	case 0: Locked[playerid] = 0; //this one DOESNT.
	case 1: Locked[playerid] = 0; //this one too
	case 2: Locked[playerid] = 1; //this is going to be locked, right?
    }
    return 1;
}

Locked[playerid] will now be set to 1 if they are viewing a passworded skin.

[edit]

Stopping the player from spawning

Now lets make it so they can't spawn with a protected skin.

public OnPlayerRequestSpawn(playerid)
{
    if(Locked[playerid]) return 0;
    //If player's current class is passworded, stop them from spawning
    return 1;
}

Now we have that done, we need a way to unprotect a class by entering a password.

[edit]

Unlock command

Let's make the command '/unlock [password]'.

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/unlock YOUR_PASS"))
    {
        Locked[playerid] = 0;
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREEN, "Skins unlocked!");
    }
    return 1;
}
