  That's hudson telling you you need to provide the username and password for the repository you're accessing.  If it's HTTP you can put it right in the URL or in the [auth] section of the repository's .hg/hgrc file.  If it's a ssh-accessed repo you need to make the private key available likely using ssh-agent.
