Important: you do not need to give anyone your password to allow people to see your code. DO NOT EVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD.
When you want people to be able to see your code, simply make your layers viewable. How?
1. Go to Your Layers. Find your layer and click on Edit.
2. Insert layerinfo source_viewable = 1; at the top. Click on Save and Compile.
3. Go back to Your Layers. Spot your layer. Spot the number which is on its left. That's the layer ID. Give it to the person who's helping you.
If you want to be extra nice and save the person who's helping you some time, you can go a little further.
4. Instead of simply giving the number, click on it. This will open a new page.
5. On this new page, click on the link which says 'View source: Raw Source Code'. This will open a new page where you can see your code.
6. Copy the address which is in the address field of your browser and give it to the person who's helping you.
