what should you do if you're me.

I want to create login form with role option, something like:

username
login
role = manager, employee, freelancer (using combo box)

modifying the current one?

You can modify any form you need by implementing the hook_form_alter http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/hook_form_alter

Although I am not sure why you would want to put the user's role into the login form - surely the username will be tied into the users role? Or are you planning on redirecting the user to different portions of the site depending on the option they select in the login box?

I think this concept is good for when you create an account - and later you can edit your role as part of your profile. It's not a login option, it's a user profile thing, and could be useful
You will need some extension, maybe the profile module (guessing, haven't tried)
