How can I password protect a folder on a mac?

I already tried...

1. selecting folder and clicking get info

2. clicking the "lock" option

My problem is that under the "Sharing and Permissions" tab, I cannot take away access from Staff (whoever that is) and Everyone, they have access to Read Only my folder. Then after saving these changes, I clicked on the folder and I was not asked for a password. What was the point of locking the folder if I was not asked for a password?
