Shut down your browser. Open it again, and click on this link:

http://www.newtonaycliffeac.org.uk/members/minutes.html

You will see it is asking for username/password.

Thank you for your patience!
I realise I hadn't got 'members' included in my link.
Many thanks,

Re: How do I add a simple password protected area to my site?

Hi again!
I seem to be having a strange problem with setting the password itself now.
I have been into Control Panel and set up a user 'aycliffe' and a password 'acorn123'. (i.e. between 6 and 8 characters)
When I try to enter the directory through my 'members only' navigation button, the password request panel comes up but when I type the user name and the password I just get the panel back again. I've tried repeating this, as I read a contributor to another forum once did, but still just get the panel. If, however I just enter the user name and click OK (i.e. ignore the password box) I get through!
I could live with this but would rather have a password as well as a user name for privacy.
Any thoughts, please?
Thanks,
Richards

Recreate the username and password for this folder and test again.

HiI removed the user and entered them again. Got a message 'user aycliffe has the password acorn123'. Went into the site from scratch but same thing happened - works without password but not with!
