If you don't have any experience with C++, I suggest you start there.

For learning Qt:
http://qt.nokia.com/services-partners/qt-in-education/qt-in-education-course-material
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/index.html

As for the password asterisk:

thanks for the reply..by the way, where should i declare the enum?

I suppose you want an enum to store the username and password?
It depends on the logic of your program I guess. Most likely you have a general manager class (for most people this is the main window, or a download manager, ...)
You can define the enum in that class because it is the most likely place where communication connections are made.

I assume you mean the QLineEdit::EchoMode that tbscope linked to. You don't need to declare it, just include the Qt headers.

You use these values with the QLineEdit::setEchoMode() method in your own code. If you are using Qt Creator or Designer then there is a drop-down property, oddly enough called echoMode, you can set on the line edit in the form design.

you will do it fast and learn more if you go through the examples provided in Qt and documentation instead of asking question here
