If you say that the security isn't a very important
issue, it's simple. Even the security would be
important it should bee not very difficult, but the
authentification should be made on the server.
Assume that exist a text box named txtUserID and a
text box named txtPswd:
UserID<input type="text" name="txtUserID">
Password<input type="password" name="txtPswd">
<input type="button" value="Sign"
onclick="Sign(document.all.txtUserID,document.all.txtPswd)">
<script language="JavaScript">
function Sign(username,password)
{
  if(username != "YourUseName" && password !
"YourPassword")
  {
    alert("Access denied! Invalid user name or
password!");
  }
  else
  {
    alert("Access allowed!");//other actions oyu want
to do
  }
  
}
</script>
 Any way this function is not good because the any
user can see the function. You should read the user
name and password from a file or shoul authentify on
the server. Good Luck!
