I'm using Htpasswd Password Manager V1.1 from http://www.cgi-factory.com
Where did you put the .htaccess file? I only put it in a new directory that
I was trying to protect. Don't mess with the .htaccess file in the top
level. I also put the .htpasswd file above the /web directory. Below is the
.htaccess file in the protected directory. The CGI script I also placed in a
directory I created via FTP called cgi-local so as not to mess with the
FrontPage created cgi-bin.

AuthPAM_Enabled off
Options -Indexes
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site#/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Enter Your Corporate ID"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET PUT POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

site# of course being the site number or the site with the folder I'm
protecting.
