    Thank you for your answer. When i tried to remove the old .htaccess file,got an error message about SQL not matching.
    This is how i resolve the the problem
    I restored from the backupfile a day before the issue and i edit the .htaccess file from
    ## begin basic auth
    AuthName “the protected directory”
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile “/usr/home/thest3/www/htdocs/wp-admin/.htpasswd”
    Require valid-user
    ## end basic auth

    to
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    That was able to solve my problem
