so every time i try to lock admin directory using htaccess and htpaswd i get server error, can anyone help to maje this work? am following this: http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/...-htaccess/

You may try this instead: http://mods.mybb.com/view/admin-cp-honeypot

i tryed this but my real acp still got accessed..

Then you didnt some of this following lines. because if you your ACP it doesent exist then there is new one with other name.

1) Rename your real /admin/ directory and modify your /inc/config.php to reflect the change.
2) Upload the new fake /admin/ directory and the plugin file.
3) Activate the plugin and set email notification preferences.

i would just like to have this pass protected, is this possible with .htaccess?

Yea it's possible.

Go to your Cpanale and there you will find Password protect Folder or right click on admin folder Set Password or something similar, and just put password. Everytime when you try to login you have to writte correct username and password.

Also you can try follow this tutorial:
