Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you should re-read setting up the web interface directions, because having email addresses in the contacts.cfg file will not help you with doing authentication for the web interface. You'll find directions here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html 

Hope that helps.
