There is no way to password protect photos on iPhones. Why would you need this when you should be passcode locking the entire phone?


You can remove photos from Camera Roll by connectint to a computer with a photo import app, importing them to that app and deleting from Camera Roll (most apps will do this). The photos are no longer on the phone at all. You can sycn them back to the phone in a new folder, but not password protected.

When you resync, you first will recreate albums. The photos synced back to the phone can no longer be deleted on the phone itself unlike the albums you create on the phone with iOS 5.
