These are Apache's security options, see Apache documentation for more details.
As mentioned they are Apache configration and security files. Check out: Using .htaccess files with Apache by Ken Coar
You can specify apache .htaccess files to protect certain directories or allow user access by setting up htpassword and username files. If you don't have root access to the filesystem you will need some sort of administration so that the password files can be generated so speak to your admins.
