What you have saved in your file only one Name and Password or multiple name and password or some other text also saved in your file?

Before you learn those simple string manipulation and a lot more related to general programming chores, dealing with passwords, log on, UI, network and other advanced stuff will be just a waste of time. Listen to a good advice: slow down, if you want to get some skills.

It's not your bad English, it's your complete lack of detail of what you have done, how you did it and what you wanted to do. If you only want certain information, why are you reading the entire file? Why are you unable to read the information out of whatever data structure that you stored the file text in?

my problem is that whenever i get text from the text file.. i cannot specify the lines that i want to get.. the result is all text from the text file are compressed into one..
