Here is the wrinkle,
when I follow the directions on other posts and logon to the apache2 file, it is blank.
There is no WP Admin stuff to null. I have had an ssl installed on other domains on my DO account (not sure if that would affect this install).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The extra password dialog is defined inside a DirectoryMatch directive in the file
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Locating the DirectorMatch directive that includes the authentication configuration and removing that section and then running:
service apache2 restart
will remove this.
From what I gather, I just had to nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and comment out this section :
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>```
Just commented all of it, hopefully that's not a bad thing. Please let me know if it is.
