Yes, already done all of what you mentioned. I have implemented no price showing unless they login, membership levels and in the admin. made it so that anyone who registers are automatically suspended until they are approved so that a.) no one can select a membership level and b.) unless they have completed the credit approval process, they will not have access to the pricing of our store. I have also created an editable downloadable (pdf) application, which is part of the image that I attached in my previous post.
The reason why we would want to have the register.php password protected is because it would be a waste of time for myself as admin. to weed through those who register and will never complete the credit process to those who have completed the process and are now waiting to have full access to our store. Because we sell CCTV products for security/surveillance, the everyday person and small business owner may want our products, though they will need to go through an authorized dealer/reseller to make the purchase as we sell wholesale only. We want to reach potential new customers, dealers and resellers with showcasing our products in our store, but no pricing will show unless they login (which means they must be approved, and register to view the pricing online). Because of our unique business, why wouldn't we want to have the "register" for a store account to view pricing as an invite only after a new customer has gone through the credit process?

Can you not just create a membership level and then in admin - general options "Enable sign-up for membership"? By making all of your products (and/or categories) a certain membership level they will not be visible except to "members" of that membership level once they have logged in.
You can have them directed to a page where they can download your "Application.pdf" and once they have completed your process you can approve their membership and place them accordingly.
