This may not be the best forum to post this in but here it goes.

My website has been transfered from an old host to a new one. The old host had a web interface where you could edit your website and create password protection to portions of your site. All this did was modifiy three files:

file.pwd
file.grp
.htaccess

When adding a password to the password file the web interface would encrypt my password. How can I encrypt new passwords and add them to that file. Currently the file has the structure:

username:encrypted password

If i just add a line to the file like so:

new username:password

It doesn't work...It tryed to un encrypt that into junk. So how do i do this and does dreamweaver have a utility in it for this?

thanks
