There's no single per-share password, rather user accounts and Access
Control Lists.

Have a look through this guide:
Windows XP Professional File Sharing
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/index.htm

If you have XP home, this does not apply.
In that case, there's not much you can do.
Have a look here:

Windows XP Simple File Sharing

Good Luck,
