It's not really that clever. The only reson for pw protecting files is to
stop a casual browser from opening them. He or she will download a few
parts, find they are pw protected and give up.
The problem with your post is that someone actually searching for a Home
Mechanics Guide in something like EN Global Search may come across your
post, download it and get the sort of surprise which results in an abuse
report. Better, surely, to use a header which is simply a random set of
numbers; something which is highly unlikely to be a search target.
