PHP and Mysql is probably a good place to start.

Here's a good tutorial which teaches you how to make user signup and login:

User login/user accounts aren't terribly hard, however creating them properly with secure and well written scripts is(ish). Start out small and you will pick things up, its not a 1 day job.
 
not easily scalable but simple to understand

Depending on how many users you are going to have and how quick you wish to have the member's area you could use http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml].htaccess and .htpasswrd

to create a secure area.
The benefits of are:
You don't have to learn a scripting language as such
its quick and easy for a small amount of members.

The downsides are:
You don't have to learn a scripting language
if you have many users then its not so scalable and you will have to add new records for each person. Unless you want everyone to have the same password and username
