Thank you for your fast responses. Generating the htpasswd file my
self did the trick. Now I can login. The full command was (as you
suggested I used the one in autobuilder git repo under ./bin):

    ./htpasswd -b -c <path to htpasswd file> <user name> <secret password>

Forced a build of my configuration now and hoping for the best :).
