      I didn't do 2.02 (just 1.0) and it looks like the password defaults were changed. Without installing it, I don't know the solution, but here is what I would try:

      1. look at the .htaccess file for the section you're trying to get to and make sure that the two files referred to are really there and readable by the web server ID (usually nobody). In other words it might be a file permissions problem
      AuthUserFile "/home/classweb/security/classpass"
      AuthGroupFile "/home/classweb/security/classweb.group"

      2. check the contents of those files to make sure that the ID (1) is in both.

      3. update the password for user (1) in the password file by running apache's htpasswd program, (on my machine located in /usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd). Be sure and back up the password file just in case.

      Another trick might be to comment out the authentication section of the .htaccess files long enough to go into ClassWeb Admin and change the Admin password for that user.

      Good luck!
