removing authentication form from our site

I've just had our site done by a developer. www.dppj.fr, its a simple site. On his machine it works fine but on the server where we host it there is an authentication window that opens up asking for the ID & PW. We don't want it as viewers don't have a login or PW. Moreover the login & PW seem to be the ID & PW of the dashboard.

Is it a problem with the server or the developer?

Can anyone help?

Expanding on the above answers. It appears that only 1 object in the site is causing the request. I am guessing that you don't want to remove all authentication, but you will need to find out which object/image is requiring the auth. If you have access to the access_logs for the site, look for something with a 401 status code

I think you are seeing HTTP authentication. Look for a .htaccess file in the root of your public html folder and remove the lines that look like...

AuthUserFile /full/path/to/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Secret Folder"
Require valid-user

or things that look like...

<Files "mypage.html">
  Require valid-user
</Files>
