    I've 2 .htaccess files, one on the root , and here's the content :
    Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    Code (markup):
    and the other one on "/admin/", and here's the content :
    AuthType Basic
AuthName "Administrator Control Panel"
AuthUserFile "./passwd"
require valid-user
    Code (markup):
    when I visit : http://www.domain.com/admin/
    it redirect me to /index.php
    and not showing the authentication window !!

    when I delete 2nd file which in "/admin/" , I can access http://www.domain.com/admin/
    and If I deleted 1st file, the authentication window on http://www.domain.com/admin/ appears !

    Ohh, after 2 days of searching, I finally find the solution , just add :
    ErrorDocument 401 default
    Code (markup):
    to either of the 2 .htaccess

    I found the solution here :
