What are you doing? How did you configure things? Presumably, you, or something, is trying to connect with the wrong password.

Are you or some software that you are running trying to connect to your node over the RPC interface (e.g. with bitcoin-cli)? The error message means exactly what it says - something tried to connect to it from the given ip and port, and it gave the wrong password.
