What password? You can always telnet in as root and delete the .htaccess
file, or just upload a new one.
You're going to need:
AuthPAM_Enabled off
in the .htaccess file if you want it to access a .htpasswd file other than
the one that controls all sites. You'll notice your server admin password
probably works with the current setup.

What file did you CHMOD 777? I've never heard of doing a CHMOD on a
.htaccess file.
