With htpasswd files you may use the utilities for htpasswd files.
Like htpasswd from the apache package.
If you allow self-creating users, they create themselves at the first 
login.
Otherwise you can set or change a password at the UserPreferences page.
If you choose to allow it.
If you don't allow password changes, the passwords must already exist. 
(http auth, db auth, file auth ...)
More self-explanatory docs in config.ini.

You have to use latest CVS.
