Then email it to the address supplied by Amazon to re-code it for the Amazon Kindle. Then go to "Manage Your Kindle" at Amazon and send it to your device.
When you open the document in the Kindle, you will be asked to enter your password.
Try a test case first to be sure it all works properly.

Surely this cannot work. Amazon would need to crack the encryption in order to convert it to Kindle format. And Kindle format has no password protection feature.
If you write to PDF you can set a password on that, and Kindle Touch and Paperwhite (at least) will prompt for one when you open. I don't know if Fire supports that, but I think it probably does. If you go PDF route I would suggest changing the page size and margins of the Word document so that it looks the way you'd like it to on the smaller-than-8.5x11" screen.
If the Fire reading app does not support PDF passwords, there are PDF reading apps that will: Adobe Reader, EzPDF, etc.
