Make your Password form modal and call from your main program. When user enters the password and then clicks on the OK button, Password form returns logical value that indicates if login was succesfull. In case of succesful login, Launch Main Processing Form with Read Events from main program. This way your two forms became independent of each other.

Once the user has finished in this Form and clicks the Exit button, this issues a Clear Events statement which should take the code to the point straight after the Read Events in the Password Form. The code after this just releases the Password Form and returns control back to the Main Program.
