Guest Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 without knowing how/what you are using to control access, it is pretty tough. if it is via the cpanel where you set file permissions, just go in there and remove protection, then reenable it with a username and password again. if via admin access or something of the like, which stores a password in the database, then you can go in and remove/reset the password in the database itself.

AlanR Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 If you move or delete the .htaccess file and go back to your control panel and set up protection again it should just create a new .htaccess file.
