You are using package "hyperref" and you have at least two
pages "1".
==> recommended hyperref options: plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels

If the pages were labled differently (for example: documentclass
book with \frontmatter and \mainmatter the pages are labeled
"i" and "1"), then the problem is solved.

If there is a title page without a printed page number,
you can set the page counter to zero, for example.
Or \thepage can be redefined, eg:

\begingroup
  \renewcommand{\thepage}{title}
  % commands that generates the title page
  \newpage
\endgroup

Other options:
* If there are no references and such stuff on the pages "1",
  you can ignore the warning.
* Option "hypertexnames=false" solves the warning, but
  then index links, \autoref will not work correctly.
