password protection - GoFuckYourself.com

I want to password protect one section of my site and everyone said that .htaccess is great on apache servers. I tried it, and now I can't access it. When I press the OK button a new query pop up and after that I get: Authorization Required

This is my .htaccess file:

AuthUserFile /var/www/html/mysection/.htpasswd
AuthName mysection
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

And this is the .htpasswd file:

username:password

Anyone that recognize this problem??

did you created the .htpasswd file with the htpasswd program ?
