Ok so I am writing this GUI menu and one of the choices on the menu requires the user to log in. So I open a new window that prompts the user for a username password. However after the user inputs the information how do I just close the window? I don't mean exit the program but just close the GUI window. Or when user hits the cancel button I just want to close the window

As you open a new window for the user to enter the username and password you can close that window using self.close() function in javascript by assigning it to the cancel button.So when the user clicks on the cancel button the window gets closed

I don't get any indication from the OP that this is an applet.
Look up JOptionPane to display a dialog window.
