Protect Directories
Keeping your private information ... private.
Using the Protect Directories option, you can
limit the amount of access users have to certain parts of your site.
You can specify a username and password for the directory you are
protecting. Each protected directory can have multiple users (each
with different passwords if you prefer) who have access to it. Additionally,
the Protect Directories option can be used to remove a user’s
access from a protected directory. You can set up unique user names
and passwords for each user who request access to the protected
directory. Though more time consuming, this method would be more
secure.
Note: In order to use the Protect Directories option, the
Microsoft FrontPage Extensions option must be disabled. If
it is enabled, then you must use your version of Microsoft
FrontPage to protect the directories.

not get in.

Modifying a User ID or Password

can modify the credentials protecting it by going back into the
Directory Protection Manager and selecting the directory that is
protected. If the directory is already protected, a new section

To make changes to a User ID or Password,
the easiest way to do this is to delete the user ID/Password and
replace them.
