I hope I'm mistaken, but this appears to be a trivial (<10 min.) homework assignment, in which case you should not be asking for assistance on this forum. Nevertheless, your database should have (at least) the following fields -- id (of course), ad information (string or text), and password (string). The form on which a user enters ad information should allow the user to input the password (which is then associated with the ad by id and password). The main page can then have an "Edit Ad" button (or link) that links to a login page which will have input boxes for the ad id (which may be displayed on the classified page) and the password. Alternatively, or in addition, the classified page can have an "Edit" button (or link) which goes to an Edit Current Ad page (where only the password is required, as the ad id should be passed as a hidden field). Either way, the Login or Edit Current Page should link to a page for editing the specified ad.
I'm not sure what else your assignment calls for, but with the foregoing, you should be able to figure out how to create the database, create the views for adding a classified, displaying the classified (with the ad id and an "Edit" link), displaying a view with a link to a Login page, etc. If you have any other questions, please ask after you have some code to show. However, I don't think anyone on here wants to do your complete homework project.
