How do I display user information to another class after logging in?

I'm having problems on how to connect my two classes. What I want to happen is, when the user logs in, the GradingSystem class will run and automatically display the user's information based on my MS ACCESS database. Somehow, I have no idea how to call or connect the Login class to the other class.

Login class

private class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
  @Override
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    DatabaseDriver driver = new DatabaseDriver();
    Object source = e.getSource();

    if (source == btnLogin) {
      try {
        String username = txtUserName.getText();
        String password = String.valueOf(txtPassword.getPassword());
        String query =
               "Select username,password from [useraccount] where [username]='"
               + username + "' and [password]='" + password+"'";
        driver.selectQuery(query);
        ResultSet rsLogin = driver.rs;
        if (rsLogin.next()) {
          String logo = "img/seal_TIP.png";
          java.net.URL addURL = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(logo);
          ImageIcon image1 = new ImageIcon(addURL);
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to your TIP account.",
                     "Login Success", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, image1);
          dispose();
          new GradingSystem().run();
        } else {
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Incorrect Username or Password.",
                     "User Not Found!", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
        }
      } catch (SQLException ex) {
    }

GradingSystem class

DatabaseDriver driver = new DatabaseDriver();
 
 String query = "Select lastName from [useraccount] where [username]='"
                 +login.username+"' and [password]='"+login.password+"'";
 driver.selectQuery(query);
 ResultSet rsGradingSystem = driver.rs;
   try {
     if (rsGradingSystem.next()) {
       JLabel studName= new JLabel("Name: ");
       studName.setBounds(15,60,150,20);
       add(studName);
     }
   } catch (SQLException ex) {
 }

You can use some static fields in your login class, and fill them after logging in, then in GradingSystem class you can use them.

something like: 

public static string UserName;
public static string Password;

and in GradingSystem use:

DatabaseDriver driver = new DatabaseDriver();

 String query = "Select lastName from [useraccount] where [username]='"+Login.UserName+"' and [password]='"+Login.Password+"'";
 driver.selectQuery(query);
 ResultSet rsGradingSystem = driver.rs;
    try {
        if (rsGradingSystem.next()) {
           JLabel studName= new JLabel("Name: ");
           studName.setBounds(15,60,150,20);
           add(studName);
        }
    } catch (SQLException ex) {

    }

don't forget to fill them after logging in.
