Make sure the site set up to require windows authentication in web.config. See here for starters:

Then make sure the page you are working on is in a folder that requires authenticated visitors (again web.config)

When you say you need to ‘get the windows username and password’ does that mean you want to retrieve these in your code. You will not be able to get the password – Windows won’t provide that to asp.net.
