I need a suggestions and guide from you please help me out in this matter.

Solution

Change C:\wamp\www\magento\app\design\frontend\base\default\template\persistent\customer\form\login.phtml

Not the one in app\design\frontend\base\default\template\customer\form

And always look into path by enabling Template Path Hints

1. Open the admin control panel
2. Open the system tab and select configuration
3. Select Main Website or Name of your website (NOT DEFAULT CONFIG) from the Current Configuration Scope drop down
4. Select Developer on the left sidebar
5. Open the Debug drop down
6. Set Template Path Hints To Yes
7. Click on Save Config to save down your changes
