What happens after you enter the password? Does the password dialog go
away completely? Or does it remain with a message like "Sorry, you
entered an invalid username or password."?

Please run the Console application and see if there are any messages
about Zenmap in system.log. Open the folder /Applications/Utilites and
click the Console icon. Then click system.log and see if there are any
message mentioning Zenmap after the program fails to start.
