    function OnlyCreatorEdits($pagename, &$page, &$new) {
      global $AuthId;
      ## if the page already exists, we're not creating it, so do nothing
      if (PageExists($pagename)) return;
     
      ## we're creating the page, so set the default edit password
      ## if something else hasn't already set one
      if (@$AuthId && !@$new['passwdedit']) 
        $new['passwdedit'] = "id:$AuthId";
    }

    ## add our function into the edit sequence (somewhere before PostPage)
    array_unshift($EditFunctions, 'OnlyCreatorEdits');

I recommend against using $_SESSION['authid'] -- the way that authorization
information is managed may change in future releases.

The code I gave above can go into any local customization.
