It's possible if you used authentication.

Authentication is a proof of identity. Your user has to login to the
site with his username and pwd. After that you can identify his
username.

I'm using Forms-based authentication. I've been following the examples
but i get a little. Do I have to create a new form or I use the same
page. since every user has his username and password. Please explain
to me how it works please? It's my first time to try this.
Thanks.

Once the login has been successful, you should be able to retrieve the name
of the currently logged-in user by User.Identity.Name

If user is already authenticated, his loginname normally is the
Context.User.Identity.Name, so just use

Label1.Text = Context.User.Identity.Name;

or something like this.

If you don't know how to work with the Forms based authentication:
