If you're being prompted for a password on every page -- this generally
indicates a problem with PHP's session handling on the server.
Either sessions are disabled, or there's not a valid session_save_path,
or other scripts are eliminating the session data at frequent intervals.

You might try using http-authentication and see if that resolves
the problem:

    include_once('scripts/httpauth.php');

If that fixes things, then you're fairly certain that the problem is
in the server's session handling.
