			you could add a 'AuthGroupFile /dev/null' after AuthUserFile i think, also, make sure you hit enter after typing the user 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	 ass bit in the .htpasswd file. the code looks right from here though...

			Is your password in .htpasswd MD5 encrypted? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Also, what's not working? Is the htaccess window showing up at least? But the password's just not working?  |

			.htaccess for folder blocking should read: 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Code: 
	AuthUserFile *PATH TO .htpasswd* AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName ByPassword AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> require user *USERNAME LISTED IN .htpasswd* </Limit>  |

			yup, that's fine. didn't know you hadn't used md5 for your pass though, and i'm pretty sure that it needs an empty line after it... pretty sure anyway hehe
