    Hi
    Looks like a .htpasswd thing. Have you ever password-protected the directory from within your hosting account?

    second way:

    I’d suggest looking at your hosting server to see what’s happening there, or ask your hosting company and see if they can help.

    The only thing that I can think of that you could do to help straight away is to use FTP to get into your site and delete the main .htaccess file from the wp directory. That’s one way of getting rid of that authentication that I’ve heard.

    Always make a good backup copy.

    Third way: I’m not sure, but I think your website has been hacked.
    Thanks
    Ahir

    Ok i did what you said, I deleted .htaccess in wp , but when i entered login page it says not found

    Then i reuploaded .htaccess file (i downloaded it before deleting) and then i entered login page, this time ot was not asking to prove that i am human.

    Also i have ithemes security can this be the cause ?.

    Also if a hacked hacked my site then what will be symtoms of this and how can i prevent hacker entering site ?

    Also thanks for helping ??
    Have a nice day.
