A password is one thing, but you might want to strongly consider adding a firewall to your home network.

Just having a password doesn't hide the fact that you have computers sharing their resources. It might offer someone a challenge, which isn't a good thing.

Either a software solutions such as BlackICE, or ZoneAlarm, or s hardware based solution such as a Linksys cable/DSL modem router.

Heck, an OpenBSD box running on a old pentium would do the job as well. :)
