You have a line in the Private Sub cmdOK_Click() routine.
If vPW = sPW Then

It looks like those variables are set somewhere else.

But maybe you could use the same technique:

Private Sub cmdCreate_Click()
frmauthorisation.Hide
If vPW = sPW Then
Call CreateTemplate
Me.lbldone.Caption = "A total of " & iWCount & " workbooks" _
& " containing a total of " & iCCount & " worksheets created."
Me.lbldone.Visible = True
else
msgbox "wrong password"
end if
frmauthorisation.Show
End Sub

But this is just a guess.

I have just inherited a spreadsheet with userform and the vba lines
below (Yes, I happen to a beginner in VBA). The problem I am having
with the userform is that once it pops up, you click on the create
template command button and the program starts. Now the problem is it
doesn't ask you to enter a password even though it has textbox and a
command button to ok this. Please help me explain how I can
incorporate a password in the vb lines below so that everytime a
correct password is entered the program is activated.

Many thanks.

Private Sub cmdCreate_Click()
frmauthorisation.Hide
Call CreateTemplate
Me.lbldone.Caption = "A total of " & iWCount & " workbooks" _
& " containing a total of " & iCCount & " worksheets created."
Me.lbldone.Visible = True
frmauthorisation.Show
End Sub

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
Unload frmauthorisation
End Sub

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
If vPW = sPW Then
Me.cmdcreate.Enabled = True
Else
Me.cmdcreate.Enabled = False
MsgBox "Incorrect Authorisation Code!", vbCritical,
"Authorisation"
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Label1_Click()

End Sub
Private Sub lblDone_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub txtPW_Change()
vPW = Me.txtpw.Text
Me.cmdOk.Enabled = Len(vPW & vbNullString) 0
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
sPW = Chr$(112) & Chr$(104) & Chr$(79) & Chr$(110) & Chr$(108) &
Chr$(121)
End Sub
