I have already created an empty database during the installation. my actual need is , for example: i have a login page, that containing the username and
password filed, username and password are stored in the datebase(same database which is created during the installation), when I click the login
button I have to validate the username and password from the databse. How can I do this using dotnetnuke, can you help me, I am a beginner in dotnetnuke.

Tomjp,

If you have not successfully performed the install of DotNetNuke, I would complete this task first.   DotNetNuke does provide it's own login page

During the install you were asked to provide a password for the Host and Admin user accounts.  Use one of the Host or Admin Usernames plus appropriate password.  Once signed in, you can go to the Admin/User Account to add more users.  

I would recommend you watch some videos on www.DNNCreative.com and www.DNNHero.com to gain a basic understanding.  These videos are quite informative and can answer many questions.

If you are looking to validate user/password from an other database table, you have several options -- you can use several third party tools to load the users into the DotNetNuke User tables,  or you can create an authentication provider where you can access that other table. 

Paul.
