For password protecting it do the below. You will need to create an htaccess password file, put it in a directory that is not available to be browsed to and then use that path for the below.

In nginx, in your vhost file in the above the base Location / directive you need to place

location ~/admin\.php$ {
    allow XXX.XXX.XXX;
    deny all;.
    auth_basic "Administrator Login";
    auth_basic_user_file /path/to/your/password_file;
    root /path/to/root/forum/directory;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }

In Apache2 it would be defined in your .htaccess

<Files admin.php>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Protected Access"
    AuthUserFile /path/to/your/htaccess.pwd.file
    Require valid-user
Order deny, allow
Deny from all
Allow from XXX.XXX.XXX
</Files>

There is also a way to do it by IP in htaccess, but I'd have to look that up since I don't use it.

EDIT: I have placed code in both the nginx and Apache2 directives. I know that the nginx one works. I think the above Apache 2 IP stuff will work, where XXX.XXX.XXX is your IP address.
