The instruction you are thinking of is:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

inserted in the Head part of your html pages.

You could also try creating a robots.txt file containing just the following:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

This file goes in your documentroot.

Of course, this being the Internet there is no guarantee that spiders 
will obey your requests, but I assume the site is password protected 
anyway :).

The robots.txt file seems to work for me---Google at least doesn't index 
my site.
