Well, look where this name is defined and what is that access; how can I know that? and I would highly recommend you name everything in English, regardless of your culture.

first you need, username_txth.Equals(username)
using == means they are the same object, not that the strings are the same value

to show the form again need to pass the Owner (this)

C#

MenuForm form = new MenuForm();
            form.Show(this);
            this.Hide();

3. show form again on closed or exit application

C#

protected override void OnClosed(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnClosed(e);
            this.Owner.Show();
        }

cheers
