STEP ONE:

make a file in your admincp/ directory called .htaccess (or make it on your computer and upload it to your admincp/ dir)

in this file, place the following (but make sure to change the path to your own path!):

AuthUserFile /home/customers/full/path/to/your/site.com/forum/admincp/.htpasswd
AuthName "Restricted area"
AuthType basic
require valid-user


Next, telnet/ssh to your site, go to the admincp/ directory and execute this command:

htpasswd -cbm .htpasswd user password

where 'user' is the username of your choice, and 'password' is the password of your choice.

If you want to add additional accounts, just use the same command minus the -c option, i.e.:

htpasswd -bm .htpasswd user password


Make sure to execute that command while you are in your admincp directory!!!

If you don't know how to telnet/ssh to your site, consult your host to see if you have that capability to begin with. If not, you'll have to do a search on google on how to create .htaccess and .htpasswd files on your computer which you can then FTP to your admincp/ dir.
