Easiest thing to do is deny them access.. don't worry about password:

Code:

<Limit GET POST>
 order deny,allow
 deny from all
 allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx			# your IP
</Limit>

This will deny everyone but your IP.. if you want to allow all access, but deny a certain IP you could do this:

Code:

<Limit GET POST>
 order allow,deny
 allow from all
 deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx			# school IP
</Limit>
