I need to get some pages from a site that request user and passw

Probably they use cookies

How can I do that?

CURL is your friend: http://nl2.php.net/curl
Especially read about the options set with curl_setopt()

If CURL isn't installed at your server, you'll either have to write your own lofic using fsockopen(), and manually write & read (/interpret) headers, or use one of the http client classes out there, for instance the PEAR one: <http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Client>
