Are Frontpage passwords secure?

I have some asp.net pages on my website. These access a sql server
database which has credit cards. So I need to protect my asp pages
from hackers. My question is: can the frontpage userid and password
that I used to access the website be intercepted? I have an ssl
certificate on the server, so would it help if in frontpage I always
opened the site with an "https" prefix instead of "http"?

Another question I have is similar but does not involve frontpage. If
I get my ISP to protect my asp folder with a Windows 2000 NTFS password
so that users who want to view the ASP pages have to type a password to
view the pages, can that password be intercepted? Suppose the page
is accessed by https://mysite.com/mypage.htm? Would the SSL protect
it? Suppose the user forgot to include the 'https' prefix?

Thanks in advance,
Marvin
