I am doing a school forum, and i want the student to create their own study group thread and password protect it so only their group can go in.

I don't think it is possible with this hack. You might have to do it via usergroups and forum permissions and subforums or something like that.

I had to change the template edit in order to make it work.
But with my edit, only admins can set/change the password.

Find:

<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/printer.gif"

Before, add:

<if condition="$show['admincplink']">
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[threadpassword_setup_title]" /> <a href="threadpassword.php?$session[sessionurl]do=modify&amp;t=$threadid" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[threadpassword_setup_title]</a></td>
		</tr>
	</if>
