Where will you be sharing it? If you have no plan of sharing it - 
copyrighting seems unnecessary. If it's a book or something you are 
sharing - you should file a copyright with your copyright office as 
nothing we can do will legally protect your documents. If you are 
sharing it just to individuals you might want to ask them to sign 
something saying they won't profit from it or share it further. I 
suggest talking to a copyright attorney if it's something valuable.

Protecting with a password has nothing to do with copyrighting.
