Never let it be said that we're not helpful!

How can I change what the password box looks like?

The dialog that pops up for the user to enter their username and
password is ugly. It contains text that you did not indicate that you
wanted in there. It looks different in Internet Explorer and Netscape,
and contains different text. And it asks for fields that the user might
not understand - for example, Netscape asks the user to type in their
``User ID'', and they might not know what that means. Or, you might want
to provide additional explanatory text so that the user has a better
idea what is going on.

Unfortunately, these things are features of the browser, and cannot be
controlled from the server side. If you want the login to look
different, then you will need to implement your own authentication
scheme. There is no way to change what this login box looks like if you
are using basic authentication.

Hope this helps ... a little bit.

BTW, I found that in less than two minutes by judicious use of google
and the search facility on the apache site.
