Creating a very simple 1 username password login in php

I am working on a function that allows a single login for just 1 user without storing in a database.

My code:

login.php

<html>
<head>
    <title>Login</title>
</head>
    <h3>Add entry</h3>
    <p> Add another Article</p>
    <form action="trylog.php" method = "post">
        <label for="username">Username</label> <input type="username" id="usename" name="username"><br /><br />
        <label for="password">Password:</label> <input type="text" id="password" name="password"><br /><br />
        <button type = "submit">Login</button>
    </form>
</html>

trylog.php:

<html>
    <title>Login</title>
    <body>
        <?php
        $usr = "admin";
        $psw = "password";
        $username = '$_POST[username]';
        $password = '$_POST[password]';
        //$usr == $username && $psw == $password
        session_start();
        if ($_SESSION['login']==true || ($_POST['username']=="admin" && $_POST['password']=="password")) {
            echo "password accepted";
            $_SESSION['login']=true;
        }else {
            echo "incorrect login";
        }
        ?>

        <form name="input" action="adminportal.php" method="get">
            <input type="submit" value="Home">
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

I am not able to make it work. Can someone help me with this?
