Do you mean so only your PSP can access it? If so, then you could always set MAC address filtering on your router to give access to only your PSP's MAC address.
If you mean making it so that only people with a password can access the router with a PSP (which I just realized is what you probably meant and I'm too lazy to delete XD), then the only thing I can think of is enabling WPA or WEP encryption and removing the settings before powering your PSP off.

No. I was going on TBT on my PSP at my friends house the other day. But you had to use a password to get onto it. So I was wondering how to do that with my router.Shadow Jolteon said:
Also I don't understand half of what you wrote... Transfer into noob language please lol
And not only access it with a PSP. Just only with the password can use the Router to asscess the internet on their DSi, PSP, iPhone etc..

Ah, okay, I get it.
What they did is they enabled encryption for their wireless router. Doing so does add a bit of security to your wireless network, but anyone with the right knowledge or applications can easily bypass it. The most common two encryption methods used are the more secure Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and the older Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
If you have a Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite and wish for them to be able to access your network, WEP is recommended. Otherwise, WPA would be better. I have no idea what the PSP supports, so you may want to look into that at Sony's support page. =)
As to how to go about setting it up, that depends on your router's manufacturer, since every company supplies a different means of modifying router settings. Usually, it is done through the browser, though sometimes it is done via an application. The setting will likely be called something like "WAN security", or passwords, or something similar. Again, this all depends on the manufacturer and model of the router.
If you need more clear instructions, then I'd check out the router's instruction manuel. You can usually find them on the manufacturer's support website. If you need help with an Apple, Buffalo, or a Netgear (the most difficult, alongside Linksys) router, then I should be able to help, since I've used all of those. =3
