It sounds like you have not properly setup your htaccess and htpasswd 
authentication. This can be found in the documentation here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html

and here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html

Nagios does not come with a user already setup. You will have to follow 
those docs to setup authenticated users.
