Is it possible to Set a password to open Lightroom and see my secret pics?

No you can't password protect catalogs using tools in Lightroom. You could create a password protected encrypted disk image and store your secret pics catalog on that.

If you are talking about the cloud based Lightroom, the only protection is your creative cloud password there. You can't segregate off parts of the cloud library.

Please tell me how to protect cloud with the password and logoff from the creative cloud

Like you said yourself, creative cloud has a password. So if you log out in the creative cloud app, then Lightroom won't show your library until you have logged in again first (although it may still show the local cache, in which case there is nothing you can do about that). There are no options to password protect something else like that local cache, or part of your library like one album.
