Don't add the components directly to your frame. Instead add to the content pane, which is where a JFrame stores all of the components that it draws. Usually this is a JPanel.

Here is an example:

public class GUI
{

    private JPanel content;

    public void GUI
    {
        /*Other code*/

        content = new JPanel();
        add(content); //make content the content pane

        content.add(title);
        content.add(login);
        content.add(pass);
    }

If that fails, call setVisible(true) and setEnabled(true) on all of your components.

On a side note you may want to make your GUI function a constructor.
