I changed it to <code>AllowOverride All</code> although <code>AllowOverride AuthConfig</code> would have been sufficient.

You can't just use the password that you want to use into .htpasswd. You have to use the 'htaccess password generator' link that David has provided first. In that link you'll enter your proposed username and password and it will spit out a MD5 user and password that you will enter into your .htpasswd file. Upload that to the folder you want to protect and it should work. Good luck! Bryan,
