I am using the above password module, I believe. Either that or its the one that came with Gallery 2, which ever build is the latest one.

I have a password set, however when I enter the password for that gallery under the username I have set up for access, it simply returns me to the password prompt. It does not say it is incorrect.

I can browse the gallery with my ADMIN account just fine.

Anyone with any suggestions? The permissions are the same as the other ones with passwords!

( and NO I'm not spam, JEez! )

the password module is used to password protect individual albums, not your entire gallery.
The gallery has its own user's and permissions.

You would not want to use the password module to protect the root album, that may prevent regular login functionality.

I am not passwording the root. Only a few albums. Sorry i should have used the term album.

No suggestions as to why it's acting this way? It knows the password is correct, but it wont let the user I have setup for it, view the files. It simply returns to the enter-password box.

There are two other albums in the same area with passwords, that work fine. Now even if I try to add another album with a password it wont work.
