The web user passwords are stored in /etc/BackupPC/apache.users (at
least on my Fedora 10 Box) or equivalent file.

Please use htpasswd command to add/change user password.

Also check your web server configuration and make sure that you at least have

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/BackupPC/apache.users
AuthName "BackupPC

require valid-user

The Apache web server then will prompt for username and password
before allowing access to BackupPC CGI
