I'm know alot about HTML, and I know some JavaScript, but could
someone please help me out. I need some help making a code for logging
in and creating a username and password. I know lots of websites have
them, but does anyone know how here?

What do you mean by a 'login-table'? Usually this requires more than
just HTML-knowledge as a 'login-table' involves always server-side
technologies (you have just mentioned client-side techniques).
A proper login involves at least a proper session-management and usually
also some profound know-how about database handling. You have to make
sure, that you implement your login-function in a secure manner
(protection against x-site-scripting and SQL-injections...) If you are
familiar with PHP and MySQL-Databases then it shouldn't be a problem for
you. If this sounds unfamiliar to you I suggest reading a good book
about MySQL might help you.

Thanks, that's kind of what I meant, as in what programming language
do I have to learn. I've never really bothered with programming. I
tried out C once (just to try it) and got involved with other things.
So maybe I'll get into it now.

Bernhard is right, what you "need" is dependent on what you are trying
to accomplish. If you only want to discourage casual visitors from
browsing sections of your site, something as simple as an .htpasswd file
may be all you need. However if real security and access control is a
concern, you will need to learn more than just a language. C might
work, so could Python or PHP, but they are methods of implementation,
not the solutions.
I hate to sound paranoid, but security is an area where a little
knowledge can be disastrous.

I'm not making something to important, only experementing right now. I
was thinking of making a site where you could make photo albums. This
idea is at it's stone ages, but I was trying to think of how I can use
a Log-in style page instead of one with cookies
