If you want to really learn, go to the javaTutorial.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html
If you don't want to learn but finish quick, here is :
For login, you need JDialog, JLabel, JTextField, JButton,
given location? --> You must know layout. --> if you want to learn go to the link above; learn The best is GridBagLayout.
if you don't want to learn but finish quick, here is :
// x, y, width, height  ==> you must put int value 
class MyDialog extends JDialog {
  this.setLayout(null);
  JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Login");
  myLabel.setBounds(x, y, width, height);
  myLabel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder()); ---> to see the actual bound of the component.
  JLabel myLabel2 = new JLabel("Password");
  myLabel2 .setBounds(x, y, width, height);
  myLabel2 .setBorder(new EtchedBorder()); ---> to see the actual bound of the component.
  JTextField myLoginTextField1 = new JTextField();  
  myLoginTextField1.setBounds(x, y, width, height);
  JTextField myPasswordTextField2 = new JTextField();
  myPasswordTextField2 .setBounds(x, y, width, height);
  JButton myOKButton = new JButton("OK");
  myOKButton.setBounds(x, y, width, height);
  JButton myCancelButton = new JButton("Cancel");
  myCancelButton.setBounds(x, y, width, height);
{code}____________________________________________________
This will do.  Etched border will help you to have proper size. of width and height.
Play around, you will find fun -
