.htaccess problem

[EL_Tee]

I am trying to password protect a certain folder on my site. i own my own domain with hosting and all that. i put the .htaccess file and the .htpasswd file in the directory i want to protect but when it asks for my login it says it is incorrect. i entered my login correct. any help?

In the password file you should have the format

username:password

make sure you have it exactly like that.

The password file can be named anything you like, it can be .htbanana if you want, as long as you have the right file name in your .htaccess file it doesn't matter.
