This bit looks like it’s using UI controls from the wrong thread:

 ValidateLogin2(txtUserID.Text.Trim(), txtPassword.Password.Trim(), -1);

I suggest you capture the user and password in local string variables above the code which adds the event handler – you can use those captured variables within your delegate. That way everything should be on the right thread:

backgroundWorker12 = new BackgroundWorker();
timer1.Enabled = true;

string user = txtUserID.Text.Trim();
string password = txtPassword.Password.Trim();
backgroundWorker12.DoWork += (s, args) =>
{
    // ... same code as before up to here
    ValidateLogin2(user, password, -1); 
    worker2.ReportProgress((int)percentageDone);
};
