You create the levels in your database FIRST. The wizards will only work properly if you do it that way.
Once you have the database set up the way you want it, you need to go to the developer toolkit control panel and click "Login Settings"
From there, choose Validate Against Username, password and access level in the Options tab
Set the fields in the Database tab
Set the session variables in the Session tab
In the User Level tab, you set the default AND user-level-specific redirection options for the login.
Once you have done all of that, you can use the Login Form Wizard to create a form to test the login behavior.

Thanks , Now I understand it!
Regarding my other doubt,, do I need to create separate login pages, (forms) to login as an admin or user?
Or Can I use a same form to query one table on database ?

You should be able to use one login form to control everything. The userlevel will be set in a session and that controls what happens after the user is logged in. But the act of the login is the same no matter who is trying it, right?

Well , no, I am having different loggedin page for admin and user , so It redirects diferent.
Read my other answer. You can define the redirection at the application level and use the same form to handle both types of users. Check the Control Panel for the Developer's Tolkit and read the help files for Login Settings.
