As I said, don't mess with the .htaccess file in the top level, you
overwrote the FrontPage .htaccess file by putting the .htaccess in /web
instead of /web/protected_directory

That's why you're having problems. The .htaccess file goes in the directory
you want to protect, which usually isn't www.domain.com instead usually it
would be www.domain.com/protected_directory
