Hi @Afzal Ghani,

Since our forum focus on C#, I am not familar with java. After doing some research, there seems no such function to connect sharepoint with rest api using username/password. You will need to register sharepoint app only. Here is a similar issue with yours, the answer need to use clientId and secret.

If you could use C#, I would recommend you to use CSOM. By using CSOM, we could connect sharepoint with username/password directly. You could refer to following article
