Thumbdrive - How do I set password for security reasons?

I just bought a thumb drive size 1 GB. It doesn't come with the security feature though i.e. to enable access password.

I've read in a newspaper some time ago that one could actually use a free online service to set a password, in case the thumb drive got lost or stolen, no one could have access to the sensitive information inside it.

Can anyone tell me it is possible to set password?

Otherwise, which other options do I have to set a password in a thumb drive?
