Hi Prathik,
I can figure what you are explaining.
I've installed xampp 1.0 and I've to downgrade, to 0.7.4 as the download page. I've installed on a iBook G4 with Tiger 10.4.11 and on a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.6.
On both configurations when lauch the XAMPP Control Panel it appears a pop up where you have to type you Mac user and password and then appears the control pannel.
Next I click on All Components Start button and point my browser to
http://localhost and appears xampp welcome page.
No password, no ~username/.
The ~username/ functionality has to be activated on a xampp configuration file that I think it can be found inside the installation directory etc/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
Don't you have the Mac OSX internal Apache runing ?
Hopes it helps
