Your account is set up in sucha away that Frontpage is asking for password
access before loading the site.

To resolve this, you need to remove the password authentication from
Frontpage, and republish your site.

The only was for me to do this is to reset the account (as I dont have a
copy of your Frontpage settings here)

how do i remove password authentication

You don't.
The userID and password is set in the FrontPage extensions configuration
set up by your host.
If you remove the password then your site is wide open to hackers and
others, to edit as they wish.

What problems are you having?

If you can open the site in FrontPage:

Use Tools->Server->Permissions
When the web page loads, click " Change anonymous access settings "
On the right hand side, select the ON radio button for "Anonymous access
is:"
And choose "Browser" from the dropdown for assigning anonymous users to
a role.

If any of this is not available to you, your host will have to do it or
reset your account.
