One possibility is that you re-defined the name of the .htaccess files somewhere (look for AccessFileName anywhere in the config). Another is that you have "Satisfy any" and "Allow from all" (check the docs to see why this would affect things). BTW, it is a common misconception that you need .htacess files for password protection - you don't. You can just as easily stick the Auth directives directly into the Directory container in the config and forget about .htaccess and AllowOverride. Try that to simplify things...
