Well the htaccess file is used in Apache server, not sure about IIS though. The easiest way is probably to edit the htaccess file to enable different features as it is used as a rule set type file for Apache web server. www.apache.org for info about the htaccess file.
thx, I'll check that out. I'm not sure if they are running Apache or IIS so I will have to find that out : )
Ok so if it's Apache Server I don't get access to edit the file only their web admins can do that. Can I make any recommendation to them to try and resolve it from my position?

If they have htaccess file enables, unless it is a part of your contract that you can't mess with them then you should be able to edit it, unless you have in writing that you can't. If not what problem exactly are you having? Basically htaccess files tell the webserver that it can do certain things ( list directories, exec cgi programs, allow SSI).
it just randomly implements password protection to my site. I have to submit a trouble ticket and they reset the server and all is fine again
Tell them to check inherited security settings.
It seems like your parent directory is set to use it or the default web site is.
so everytime it reboots or config changes it is put back.
htaccess is not necessarily apache. IIS can also use it with an extra module. but tell them ti scrap htaccess and use asp authentication. or even better windows auth. since they are running on NT
