    You must ask the system to validate the credential for you.

    See LongonUser for local/domain user :
     [DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
     public static extern bool LogonUser(String lpszUsername, String lpszDomain,
    String lpszPassword,
      int dwLogonType, int dwLogonProvider, ref IntPtr phToken);

    For a remote user you need to investigate network authentication family of
    functions assuming the remote
    machine is configured to accept remote connections.
