Password protect folders not accessible

[tron1000]

Hi everyone,

I just tried to password protect a directory in my public_html directory (where also the processwire folders are) through my host's services page. As soon as it is protected, I can't access it anymore through my browser (page not found error message appears).

Does this problem have to do with processwire and is there a way around it? Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks, Tron1000
