do you have access to IIS or can you set up a user acct on the server?

woah, i love (mt).
in the webcontrol panel i just did some real quick things and i'm all set!
how easy is it to break into a page that's password protected with a .htaccess file?

unless you want your security to be compromised, no, there isn't anything to just "drop in". even if you do use flash, anyone with a decent swf decompiler will be able to crack a password in seconds.
unless you are using a database or an .htaccess file, you're cruisin for a bruisin'

as long as the permissions are set correctly (and if mt does it for you, i would assume they are), it'll be fairly difficult.
