I need to give a User + Pass to let the program access my website. It is a .htaccess and .htpassword authentication.
Dim request1 As WebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(~URL HERE~:" + strText)
Dim response5 As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request1.GetResponse()
I need to know how to get the above code to access the website URL and give a User + Pass. I'm very new to .NET so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Can, i get the actual website then i could show you how to do this. I need to know if its using http post or get and see how the user and password parameters are specified. If you send me the website url i should be able to find what i need and give you a code sample.

C# Easily converatble
Set the website up to be plain text.
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
if(webClient.DownloadString("URL").Contains(username.ToLower() + password.ToLower()))
{
//go ahead etc
}

If my username was XeXGolden and password poopy.. the website format would be like...
xexgoldenpoopy

Not even close. The above tries to navigate to a website named "URL" and then looks at the content of the web page returned to see if it contains username+password.

If you want to try to log into a website via code you need to pass the user and password as parameters to the website.

For example if the website used a http get protocol (which it most likely does not because then you can see the user and password on the url) the format would be:

Http://somewebite.com?user=username&password=password

The trick is to determine what the parameter names are. In the above the names are user and password.

If you haven't figured this out I have this code from one of my projects I was working on a while back.

Code:
Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url)
			request.Method = method
			Dim postData = data
			Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData)
			request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
			request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
			Dim dataStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
			dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
			dataStream.Close()
			Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
			dataStream = response.GetResponseStream()
			Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream)
			Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
			reader.Close()
			dataStream.Close()
			response.Close()
			Return (responseFromServer)

Slap that in a try{}catch{} and slap the try-catch in a function have the function request ByVal all strings named:
method(It will either be POST or GET)​
data(The post or get data to be sent)​
url(The website URL)​
So i would run function logIn("http://myurl.com/form.html", "username=MyUsername&pass=MyPass", "POST")
it will return the webpage in html format, you may want to download the add-on Tamper Data for firefox. With this add-on you can see what form item names are(EX: 'pass=MyPass' we know its pass= because in the HTML code the password box would be given the name pass. Although, since you have your stuff setup in the .htaccess file I honestly dont know if this would work. If you need any help just holla
