       try{
            conn= (Connection)DriverManager.getConnection(url,uid,pwd);
            stmt= conn.createStatement();
            String sql= "SELECT * FROM login WHERE name='" + name+ "'";
            rs= stmt.executeQuery(sql);
            rs.next();
            str= rs.getString("password");
            if(str.equals(pword))
            {
             menu m= new menu();
             m.setVisible(true);

            else
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Incorrect username or password!");
            rs.close();
            stmt.close();
            conn.close();
          }
       catch(Exception e)
       {

       }

   } 
   catch(Exception e)
   {
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error in Connectivity");

I did something like this (for MS SQL server) recently however I don't think you specified the database name

`String url ="jdbc:sqlserver://YourPCname\\instancename;databaseName=yourDBname";` 

(note you'd need to change "sqlserver" to "mysql")

Also make sure that your server is running.
