if you want to have a solution you should give much more information. This code-snippet says nothing to me. What is your goal ? Should we write the code for you ?

That username and password combination isn't in a database at all: they are hardcoded into your app.
So if you are entering the data you added to your DB, unless it's also "admin" and "admin" it's never going to match and you will always get "you don't have permission".

I'd also say that you should do yourself a favour, and stop using Visual Studio default names for everything - you may remember that "TextBox8" is the mobile number today, but when you have to modify it in three weeks time, will you then? Use descriptive names - "tbMobileNo" for example - and your code becomes easier to read, more self documenting, easier to maintain - and surprisingly quicker to code because Intellisense can get to to "tbMobile" in three keystrokes, where "TextBox8" takes thinking about and 8 keystrokes...
Are you sure that the username and password are in "Textbox1" and "Textbox2"?

If you are absolutely sure on all of that, then use the debugger to make sure that that code is being executed at all, and to find out exactly what it does when it runs.

Sorry, but we can't do any of that for you!
