3. Locate link Custom Error Pages.
4. Choose any file to edit for certain error page.
5. Paste your web page source code to the editor and click Save As.

Copy this line to the end of your .htaccess file:
ErrorDocument 401 http://yourdomain.com/nopassword.html

This code should be for each error you want to set the custom page. Reemember use the correct editor to edit .htaccess (e.g. Notepad ++).

HTTP Error 500 – Internal server error

The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request.
Response status codes beginning with the digit “5″ indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has encountered an error or is otherwise incapable of performing the request. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and indicate whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. Likewise, user agents should display any included entity to the user. These response codes are applicable to any request method.

500 Internal Server Error
A generic error message, given when no more specific message is suitable.

HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden

The 4xx class of status code is intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents should display any included entity to the user. These are typically the most common error codes encountered while online.

403 Forbidden
The request was a legal request, but the server is refusing to respond to it. Unlike a 401 Unauthorized response, authenticating will make no difference.
