probably you should go to your website root and delete .htpasswd file from it. also you may remove AuthType commands from .htaccess file.
Password protected directory now I can't access it
Question
I use Godaddy for hosting a Wordpress site and I just went into Cpanel and password protected a directory I made. But instead of asking for a password I get the Wordpress 404 not found error. I went back into Cpanel and removed the password protection and now I still get the not found error.
How can I get things back to normal again?
