I have a relatively large root web. Can I use FrontPage 2003 to converted
this root web into a subweb directly? If so, how to do it? Thanks.
 
Well, yes, you just right-click a folder and then choose Convert To Web.

However, this doesn't move all the pictures and files associated with those
pages into the new subweb. Therefore, in most cases, you should create an
images folder (and such others as required) and move or copy the required
files *before* creating the subweb.

You may also need to reapply your Theme, update Navigation view, and so
forth (if youl're using them) for the new subweb.

Thank you. As I mentioned, this is already a web but is a root web. Can I
change it to a subweb without changing anything inside? If so, how to do it?
 
I'm not sure I understand why you want to change a root web to a subweb,
instead of converting folders to subsites. A root web is a root web, and I
don't believe it can be converted to a subsite.

Can you please explain in a little more detail what you are trying to
accomplish? Maybe we can give you some more direction.

You have to move the content in the root, to a folder and then convert the folder or you need to
publish the root web to another root web as a subweb / site.

Thanks. I already built a web site as a root web using Frontpage 2003. Now, I
need to set a password to this web so I believe I need to make this web as a
subweb. Any suggestion is very helpful.
 
If your host allows unique permissions you don't need to convert the root to a subweb to apply them
- just turn off anonymous browser permissions in the FP SE
But that means anyone the goes to your URL will be challenged for a password, so a subweb is a better way to protect some but not
all content
