    Are you using PHP?
    Here's an intro to PHP, and here's the part where it shows how to connect to a database.

    the tutorial given above should help.
    just to give you a quick overview of whats needed:
    your html page will have a login form, and in the form tag you will need to link the action attribute to a php script which will connect to the database and query it.
    eg.
    <form action="databaseScript.php>
    
    The php script will then need to get the values inputted into the html form,
    use php functions to connect and query the database.

    remember to close the connection and even free the result afterwards.

    let me know here if you need more help or need me to clarify something :)
