.htaccess access control

I have a directory which contains a htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Go away"
AuthUserFile /home/daniel/.htpasswds/directory1/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

I have a subdirectory within that folder that I wish to use a different set of usernames/passwords for. How do I negate the effects of the first htaccess so I can use the auth?

Thanks

Just put another .htaccess in the subfolder and override the needed settings in there.

To use another .htaccess is disabled by default. So you first have to set "AllowOverride AuthConfig" in the directory directive of your apache config file.
