PW Protect?! Im getting angry....

Ok, I have searched and read. Answers have been to vague. People are trying to ask the question, while being polite, but not getting an answer because they are...just..too...nice..and not getting their point across.

Here goes.

We Just dished out some cash for alot of vB Lic. Its a gameing site. What we NEED to do is password protect the forums for particular clans. Usergroups are "cute" but noone but myself and 1 other person will have Admin access. Ever. As far as I know, the only way to do this is to add users to users groups as they join...etc.
That sucks and is not efficient. My questions:

HOW do you set up PW for Individual Forums.
Why do I not see this option (maybe im missing it)

When a User clicks a "Private" link. A PW window needs to pop up and ask for Login and PW. If correct then they proceed. If incorrect they dont procees. Simple. Where is this feature? Where is this Hack? Everyone wants to know. Please post HOW to and not say "Oh i have answered this 2 times in 1 week..etc etc and make ppl search for ****" I want an answer. A link to a hack, a link to some post on HOW TO PW PROTECT FORUMS in vB! .. Anything like that will be Acceptable. Please no BS "i am god admin and wont answer" **** answers. Its a Simple questin and requires a simple answer and i KNOW there is one out there. (but i sure as hell am missin it)

Both are nice ...and needed .. the user groups are cool for small forums, like Admin/mod only.

I to have a site with 80+ clans with needs for forums. (20-100 users per clan) Slapen users in groups at the moment sucks, but it is working.

The best add-on/hack would allow the Mod of the Forum have the ability to add/remove or change a PW for the forum they are in charge of. This saves the Admin (owner) time of having to mess with changen/add/remove the PW.
