Click File > Load and choose a video to open in the media player and add a password to. Then click DRM that includes a Protect video option. Select that option to open the window below.

There enter a password in the Password text box. Enter the same password in the Verify password field. Below that you can also input a password hint. Then press the Save button to add the password to video.

Now close GreenForce-Player. Open the media player again, and click File > Load. Then select to open the video you added the password to. It will include the GreenForce-Player logo.
