Well theres a million things there. Can you tell me where please?

Do a help file search.... its pretty self explanatory... you want an inputbox, try looking that up.

Edit: BTW, if you haven't looked through the help file then thats usually what you will be told to do. Make an attempt at your script and if you run into problems that you cant figure out, feel free to make a post.

Welcome,

Try this example

; Get the name
$name = InputBox("Question", "What is your name?", "")

; Get the password
$password = InputBox("Question", "What is your password?", "")

MsgBox(0, 'Answer', $name & " " & $password)

And if you want a masked password change $password line like this:

$password = InputBox("Question", "What is your password?", "","*")

How can I make it so yo need the correct username and password?

You could put it inside a while loop and have it compare the string they enter the password and only exit the loop when its correct.

While $pass <> "mypassword"
    $pass = InputBox("Password", "Enter your password", "" , "*M")
WEnd

The * makes it so every keystroke comes out as * instead of the real character and the M as the second character of that parameter makes entering something into the box mandatory so they cannot enter a blank(you can just remove the M if you want them to be able to)

Most get 3 tries so this code will do that for you

For $i = 1 To 3
    ; Get the name
    $name = InputBox("Question count:" & $i, "What is your name?", "")
    If $name <> 'John' Then ContinueLoop
    ; Get the password
    $password = InputBox("Question count:" & $i, "What is your password?", "")
    If $password = 'JibbaJabba' Then ExitLoop 
Next

If $i > 3 Then
    MsgBox(0, 'You failed', 'Goodbye')
    Exit 1
EndIf
