(please don't top post)

Look for a line in httpd.conf similar to "DirectoryIndex index.html"
What does it say?

I cannot guess how you have your apache configured. Other files can
generate "password pop-ups", it need not be an .htaccess or .htpasswd
files. To view hidden files use '-a' with the 'ls' command:
ls -la /var/www/html

If you don't have anything of importance there, you may want to backup
your www data and just reinstall apache. (1) backup all files you worked
on before in /var/www (2) uninstall the rpm (3) remove the /var/www
directory (4) re-install the rpm. If you do this, do this CAREFULLY!!!

Spend some time reading apache documentation or you might want to look
into a beginners book.

I hope this helps.
