Want Password on My Passport

I have an iMac desktop running Leopard 10.5.8.   I’ve been using my 1T. " My Passport" as a back-up for my hardrive for a couple of months but it is NOT password protected.   How do Install password protection on this device?  Thanks in advance to anyone who has the answer.
