C++ windows programming question

C from Cape Town,SA asked:

Hi
I am just starting out with windows programming, i received an exercise to create a windows programme that requests the user to enter a username and password and then validates the password.

Is the only way to do that via a sql file(where the username and password is stored?) I have not started working on sql yet and wonder if i can do storing of the details in the code as well as the validation?

Help will be appreciated, as the responses i get from google all indicate a sql database should be used.

Thanks
C from CT
