I renamed the cert file to *.crt, which should fix the content type.

Oh, now I get what you meant.  You are wondering about the _regular_ 
password (which authenticated users cannot enter, see below), not about 
the _admin_ password.

Authentication used to work via a password stored in a cookie with UseMod 
Wiki.  The Thingy software (which is a UseMod derivative) uses HTTP 
authentication instead, but it still has a wart that makes it look for the 
password form field when the preferences form is submitted, and thus 
always says "password removed" because it cannot find the form field.  
Consider it an oversight.

No.
