if you add:
AuthPAM_Enabled off
to the .htacecess this should get around your problem
refer to the attached posting from Dan that also covers some FP
complications :-)

	I set up http://www.cgi-factory.com/password/index.shtml Password Manager
in
	a client's FrontPage web site with no problems.
	In the cfg.pl file I set the path as
	$passfile="/home/sites/site#/.htpasswd"; with site# being that site's
	directory.

	The .htaccess file for the directories it creates looks like:
	AuthPAM_Enabled off
	Options -Indexes
	AuthUserFile /home/sites/site#/.htpasswd
	AuthGroupFile /dev/null
	AuthName "Protected Directory"
	AuthType Basic
	<Limit GET PUT POST>
	require valid-user
	</Limit>
