What you need is forms-based authentication.

It's a very broad topic, so read about the basics:

• Configure forms-based authentication
• Forms Authentication in SharePoint Products and Technologies (Part 1): Introduction
• Forms Authentication in SharePoint Products and Technologies (Part 2): Membership and Role Provider Samples
• Forms Authentication in SharePoint Products and Technologies (Part 3): Forms Authentication vs. Windows Authentication

check this implementation using ASP.NET forms authentication:

• CKS Forms Based Authentication Solution

and then return with more questions.
