Then you might wanna read this post --> http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/password...tml#post630221

Finally that is new feature in cpanel in which it can't be use front page extensions and password protected directories together.

He just given a work around temporarily, I tested it on my site and it is working fine,But I don't use frontpage for my site.

If you write the .htaccess manually, there should be no problem. Think they are talking about the cPanel directory protection feature (which uses .htaccess ), not .htaccess in general.

Edit/Add... on second thought, I see on the web that Frontpage wants you to do it "their way" and messing with the .htaccess might cause problems with Frontpage. Sounds like Microsoft.

Yeah, But default .htaccess which is created while creating the hosting account contains the the Fontpage keyword in default.htaccess file. and that is preventing that, I tested with and changing it on my account. The Password protected directories worked perfectly when I made changes as I said above.
