How can I easily setup Username/Password functionality on my website?

Question

I have some very basic HTML experience that is usually limited to making modifications to existing code. Does anyone know how I could easily setup a username/password functionality on my website?

Or can you point me to some websites that offer tutorials on how to do it?

Thanks!

You would need to use  adatabase and php for this. mysql is probably the best database. You will need to set up tables for the user details, and site security control. You then use php to control access to pages and dynamically build them.
