NetBeans IDE does not need password authentication.
The IDE may be trying to connect to a web site, to get content to display
on the start page and you may be behind a transparent proxy which needs
authentication.
Please check if there is a proxy which needs authentication for web
access. You can try changing the proxy settings in the Network settings of
your installation.
Please also let us know what OS? What Java version? you are using.
You should know that NetBeans IDE 11.0 has just been released and you
should give it a try also.
