Is this suppose to solve my problem?

"Store a user name and password in a database connection
For Microsoft FrontPage to access a password-protected database, you need to enter a valid user name and password when configuring a database connection. To store this information in the database connection, do the following:

On the Tools menu, click Web Settings, and then click the Database tab.
Click the database connection you want to modify, and then click Modify.
Click Advanced, and then set or modify the authorization properties.
Specify a user name and password for FrontPage to use to connect to the database. "

From FP 2002 help
The easiest and quickest way is to create a database with the usernames and passwords. Then on succesful login create a session ID and redirect the user to your start page. Place an include file in all of your pages to verify the session ID and if it is invalid then redirect to the login page.

There is a lot that can be done but this is just a 50 point question :-(
