Need help with redirecting the terminal through modem cable.

so here's my lock code, I've kinda thrown bits and chunks of it together from other codes and my very basic knowledge of lua… but could someone assist me with redirecting what's written on the monitor through a modem cable, thank the monitor is also name 'monitor_0' when it's connected to the cable. the monitor is 3x1 blocks if this helps at all? thank you!

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print ("Zared's Security System Initialized")
local monitor = peripheral.wrap("monitor_0")
monitor.write("Zared's Vault Lock V2.6.11")
write("Password: ")
local input = read("*")
if input == "Synapse" then
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  print ("correct! See monitor for details")
  local monitor = peripheral.wrap("monitor_0")
  term.redirect( monitor)
  print("Password Correct...")
  sleep(3)
  print("Establishing uplink to Partical Matrix.")
  sleep(3)
  print("Uplink established!")
  print("Threading code.")
  sleep(3)
  print("Setting Forcetron Partical Matrix State to: 'False'")
  sleep(3)
  print("Injection complete!")
  print("Disabling particles: True")
  sleep(2)
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  term.restore()
  rs.setOutput("left",true)
  sleep(6)
  rs.setOutput("left",false)
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
else
  print("Password Incorrect!")
  sleep(2)
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  term.restore()
  sleep(2)
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  end
end

Just change the wrapping to whatever the monitor's new name is

local monitor = peripheral.wrap("monitor_0")

i tried this, i'm getting

startup: 7: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

i updated the code above, any idea what's wrong?

If the code in the OP is current like your post suggests, it means that either the monitor isn't named monitor_0 or the monitor isn't connected to the computer that the code is being run on.
