It will require custom code to edit that. The password solution in a custom field seems to be a good idea too, but it will require too custom code. I think that a plugin can do the job, base this plugin on the trigger "onBeforeOrderCreate()". If the password is correct, so let do hikashop create the order, else set the var $do to false to not create the order. Here is some documentation about plugins in HikaShop: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...#onBeforeOrderCreate](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#onBeforeOrderCreate) It require some PHP knowledges.
