I hope I understood well ...

Did you retype a new password of your users ?

Like :
sudo bash
passwd user1
# enter the pwd ...

You are talking about ubuntu, he is referring to ubuntu center. What you need to do is type

vi /var/www/center/.htaccess

make sure that file isn't blank, if it is blank goto the admin area on ubuntu center, click passwords, and add a user

if the file has something in in

check to make sure apache2 is setup to allow /var/www/center to allow .htaccess files, I don't have an ubuntu install right now but I think there should be a file in /etc/apache2/conf.d called ubuntucenter or something similar, this is most likely an apache configuation error.

I was having this issue as well. I fixed it by:

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl
(IF YOU HAVE NOT INSTALLED SSL SUPPORT YOU MOST LIKELY SHOULD CHANGE SSL TO DEFAULT)

Then I editted this section of the file and replaced "AllowOverride None" with "AllowOverride AuthConfig":
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
#AllowOverride None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
#AllowOverride None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# Uncomment this directive is you want to see apache2's
# default start page (in /apache2-default) when you go to /
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

No guarentees but this worked for me.
