root.mainloop()

please i need response !!!

please i need response !!!

That isn't our problem, but yours. If you want a response, you need to make it easier to respond. What is the exact nature of the trouble your code is in? Does it

  • have a syntax error? What, exactly?
  • not run?
  • not run as expected?
  • do what you expect, but that isn't what you want?
  • something else?

Please read [thread=366794]this thread[/thread] and particularly notice the headings Keep the code short and sweet! and Don't give away code!. The first is for you, the second is why people won't write your homework for you.

Alright, here we go -

usernames = ['melanie', 'mools','amazing']
passwords = ['toutain','gang','ball']

Don't do this. Use a dictionary, for example -

users = {'melanie':'toutain'}

Also, your choice of variable names is rather poor. I should be able to tell from the name what the object/method is and what it does. "MyApp" tells me little, as does "label1". Same applies to all of your program.

As to you problem -

what do you expect to happen when the user is correct? I expect a new instance of Tk to be created, then an instance of MyApp2, and for an instance of MyApp and MyApp2 to keep running. Protip - this isn't what you want, what you want is for MyApp to lay the path to MyApp2, but not create MyApp2, at least not in the form you're using, if you get what I mean ;) I hope this helps.
