I wouldn't have the .htaccess chmod 666, I'd make it 644

You created the usernames and passwords for .htpasswd with htpasswd right?

sample .htaccess could be:
        AuthUserFile  /path/to/.htpasswd
        AutGroupFile  /dev/null
        AuthName  NotSureIt's needed
        AuthType  Basic

        <Limit GET POST>
        require valid-user
        </Limit>


This works for me.
