• Save the file anywhere in the system with a .bat suffix. Eg. something.bat 
• Double click on the something.bat file which you created, a new folder with name Locker will be created on the same location of .bat file you saved.
• Copy The files you need to password protect into this Locker Folder.
• Now open the .bat file again and type Y and then press Enter to lock your folder.
• To unlock your file again, you need to open the .bat file and enter your password.
• That's it! Please comment if you find difficulty in doing this. I will surely help you :)
