if you do not want to get into asp membership, here can be a simple solution: based on the Url where the request come from you can write this code in your Login.aspx.cs page:

protected void LoginButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //I detect where the request originated from
        string str = Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] == null ? "" : Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"].ToString();
            //if this is Admin can access to Admin Area only
            if (str.Contains("Admin") == true || str.Contains("admin") == true || str.Contains("ADMIN") == true)
                {
                    string[] UserNameCollection = { "Admin" };
                    string[] PasswordCollection = { "admin" };

                    for (int Iterator = 0; Iterator <= UserNameCollection.Length - 1; Iterator++)
                    {
                        bool UserNameIsValid = (string.Compare(UserName.Text, UserNameCollection[Iterator], true) == 0);
                        bool PasswordIsValid = (string.Compare(Password.Text, PasswordCollection[Iterator], false) == 0);

                        if (UserNameIsValid && PasswordIsValid)
                        {

                            FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(UserName.Text, true);
                            Response.Redirect("Admin/Default.aspx");
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            BadCredentials.Text = "Not valid";
                            BadCredentials.Visible = true;
                        }
                    }
                }
            //if this is a crm user can access to Crm Area only
            else if (str.Contains("Staff") == true)
            {
                    string[] UserNameCollection = { "Staff" };
                    string[] PasswordCollection = { "staff" };

                    for (int Iterator = 0; Iterator <= UserNameCollection.Length - 1; Iterator++)
                    {
                        bool UserNameIsValid = (string.Compare(UserName.Text, UserNameCollection[Iterator], true) == 0);
                        bool PasswordIsValid = (string.Compare(Password.Text, PasswordCollection[Iterator], false) == 0);

                        if (UserNameIsValid && PasswordIsValid)
                        {
                            SaveVisitedEntry("CrmAdmin");
                            FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(UserName.Text, true);
                            Response.Redirect("Staff/Default.aspx");
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            BadCredentials.Text = "Not valid";
                            BadCredentials.Visible = true;
                        }
                    }
                }
    }
