What is your OS and which version and what is your Wireshark version?

Your question isn't very clear to me, can you rephrase it?

If you are trying to capture localhost traffic on Windows, then you won't see anything in Wireshark, because WinPcap (the capturing subsystem on Windows) is unable to capture localhost traffic.

what should i do to see my password and username in plain text with out security in wireshark.

Either run two distinct systems. One client and one server, then try to capture traffic between then, which should work with much problems.

If you need to run everything on localhost, you'll need a different sniffer!
