redirection page help -apache

I have a folder where in there is a .htaccess file with some settin开发者_开发知识库gs .. so when i try to load the page .its asks for authentication . so when i dont give the user name and passwd . it redirects to a page. i need to know where this redirection settings are there . how to get to the core.

This question is not terribly clear.

It sounds like you have authentication set up in your .htaccess file. If authentication fails, Apache returns a 401 Unauthorized (or 403 Forbidden) response. You might try redefining the error pages for those two errors using the ErrorDocument directive.
