Step 1. I have a clean, Joomla! 3.4.3 installation on my live server, without sample content. Neither component/module/plugin/template have been installed.
Step 2. The website has been set offline, via Joomla's global configuration.
Step 3. For security reasons, the folder http://www.mydomain.com/administrator has been protected, through an ".htaccess" file. The code is presented below.
AuthType Basic
AuthName "administrator"
AuthUserFile "/home/domain/.htpasswds/public_html/administrator/passwd"
require valid-user
Step 4. I'm trying to access "http://www.mydomain.com/administrator", but the URL redirects me to the main URL "http://www.mydomain.com/index.php", no at the admin panel's URL.

There is nothing in the core of Joomla that can cause this. Most likely you have an error on your hosting with your htaccess or htpasswd file or you have installed a "security" extension which is badly configured.
If you dont have an extension installed then I would speak to your hosts for support
If you do have an extension installed then I would speak to the authors of the extension for support.
Failing that please use the forum http://forum.joomla.org
