You need to look at the HTML source of the log-in page and see what the
names of the variables used are.
Then you can often add something like:
?name=Jim&pass=nagelpass
to the URL.
There is sometimes a hidden variable required as well, so add that with
another ampersand.
But, obviously, I've just made these variable names up. You need to dissect
the form on the page.
I do this a lot!
