Help with .htaccess/.htpasswd

[Austoon]

Im trying to protect a staff part of a site so only the staff can enter but I have no idea how to do it, someone told me to use .htaccess/.htpasswd so I tried it but it kept saying the password was wrong.

If anyone would be able to help me set it up so it works right, or know of another way to do this so I can only have the staff in that would be great.

Thanks

Did you encrypt your password using the unix crypt() function?

I used some site on the net cause i dont have a program to do it in.
Was one of those sites that tries to teach you then has the spot to type it in and it does it for you.
