Hi! I am just beginning to use Drupal, and I downloaded the XAMPP to use it with. On the localhost sites, it normally has a place where you can login, and so can begin editing the code and drupal stuff (like the bar on the top, with dashboard, content, etc.)

However, somehow after I shut off my XAMPP server last time, the login bar has disappeared. Now all I can see is the website as someone not logged in would see it (can't change it), and there is no login bar.

To force the login screen to appear, just type /user after the site url and it will appear allowing you to login. The login screen is inside what is called a block. Blocks can be placed in areas called regions. Once logged in as an administrator and navigate to admin/structure/block. There you can assign the 'User login' block to any region you wish. However, you can always bring up the login block when you enter /user in the url.

Thanks it worked! I must have accidentally moved the user login block when editing.

not quite correct. There is a login page and a block.

However, you can always bring up the login block when you enter /user in the url.

/user is for the login page. Blocks do not have paths at all.
