Topic said it all. If I want to add my video porn collection into Plex, is there any option to password-protect those folders, or to hide them somehow? How do you solve this problem?
There is no way to lock or hide a folder.
Or hide content from the admin account
You could create a separate free account and then share your server with that account, but do not share any Library that you want hidden from view.
Then when the free account accesses your server they would not see that library

Yea… the thing is, I am only interested into streaming that media to my iPad from my PC. But, if I create another free account, I would have to pay again in order to be able to stream to my iPad. 
Who are you trying to hide the content from? Do you have normal movies and TV shows as well that family members view?
You can create accounts for other people and just don’t share this library with them. If it’s not shared they won’t know it exists.
You yourself could have a regular account and an admin account. The admin account will always see all libraries while your normal account would only see content you shared with it.
Yea, well, the problem is, that we are all using this iPad at home, not just me 
Also, I would have to pay for both accounts in order to stream to iPad
If you were a PlexPass user it would be simpler. Then you could setup home users and assign a PIN to any or all accounts. The iPad could then give a choice of users you select when opened. You punch in your PIN and get the libraries shared with you.
Of course Plex-Pass comes with a boat load of other great features as well that I personally couldn’t live without. The Plex HOME, trailers and Extras alone are enough to justify it for me. Throw in DVD recording (BETA), Plex Cloud and all the other features and it’s easy to justify.
Speaking of Plex Cloud, if you were a Plex-Pass user you would have the ability to setup a Cloud version of Plex that can have separate libs. You could then use this Server just for you “other files”. This way that content wouldn’t be stored on your home computer or network. You could have deniability this way. “Honest honey I don’t have those files on my server, don’t know where there’re coming from”.
So there are a few ways to get this accomplished but having a Plex-Pass opens many additional doors and adds a couple extra layers of protection you could use as well as allow each user to have their own PIN/Password protected account that they need to log into to use your Plex Service.

The only other option I see is to have two accounts. One for everyone(including yourself) and the second account just for you.
Whenever you want to access YOUR account open up the browser in incognito/private mode. That way when you exit the browser none of the login details are saved and no one would be able to log back in.
I am having the same dilemma man. I have over 140 hentai series. Just need a better privacy settings. Since, i share my account with my Family.
@NetflixSucks
You have more options then the OP… You can create a manage user and passcode protect it.
This means you will have to passcode the admin account, create a new manage user and share all the content you want everyone to see, create a library with all your hentai, create a new manage user for HENTAI then passcode the account.
