Htaccess

I’m not sure this is where I’m supposed to post this, but I’m having trouble with htaccess. I made my files and uploaded them to my directory but it’s not working.
Here is my htaccess file:
AuthUserFile /restricted/.htpasswd
AuthName bethany_ridge
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

And this my htpasswd file:
user:password

When you type in the name and password the box disappears then comes back. It doesn’t take you to the page.

I appreciate any help someone can offer
