how to edit password prompt text?

[desk]

does anybody know where/how to edit the text on a password prompt? i have a website where im protecting some of the photo directories, but instead of giving the normal prompt text, i want it to say something like:

username: my name
password: backstreet boys

There might be an option for Apache to do that, I can't remember...

Didn't look too hard, but I believe this is doable with a server-side scripting language. Look around here maybe?

It's called the "realm".

edit your .htaccess file and change the value for "AuthName" assuming that you are using Apache

doing that, i can only change the part of the text that says "Restricted Access", but i would like to change the entire thing.
