I will appreciate if I can have a hello world example of how can I make a client have to supply a specific username and password in order to consume a wcf service. I am self hosting my service therefore it is not on IIS.

I have Server A and Client B. They are different computers on the same network.

I am using the default Service1 class that visual studio creates when creating a new WCF Class Library. So I create that service on Server A.

Then on Client B I add a service reference to that address which happens to be:
http://10.10.1.135:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/mex
(Client B is a console app)

In order to consume that service I have to do:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ServiceReference1.Service1Client svc = new ServiceReference1.Service1Client();

        svc.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.UserName = "MyUserName";
        svc.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Password = "MyPassword";

        var a = svc.GetData(5); // consume the service            
    }

Note I had to use the username and password of the domain user. How can I do something similar using a custom password? I do not want to have to provide those cridentials and I also do not want to create new users on windows. It will be nice if I could validate against a database.
