I am assuming you are referring to a wireless access point (WAP), if this is wrong, please restate your question with more clarification.
A wireless access point usually connects a wireless device to a wired network. In some instances it establishes connections between two wireless devices, but this is a much less common way to use an access point. Either way, it is usually in the form of a WiFi (802.11 protocol) router or bridge or Bluetooth device. While few Bluetooth devices has any kind of security key, most wireless routers can be configured to require a password or passphrase to connect to it. The router may ship with a default password, but the person setting it up can log onto it and set a new password. Some wireless routers also connect to an authentication server which provides additional authentication, a user can connect to the access point, but until they have authenticated via the connected authentication server, they cannot access the network the wireless router is connected to.

An network access point is where you can wirelessly or wired (depending on the router) gain access to network capabilities it is connected to (eg. internet, domains, remote desktop). The access point when wireless has a WEP/WPA authentication key to prevent unwanted connectors from gain access to those privileges mentioned. The connection goes from the internet modem, then to router (the access point), then to the device you wish to gain network for (whether wireless or wired)
