[Password 2.0] I have little problem

Hello, I invented a software password using a database on another computer but I have a slight problem, it does not function correctly, could you help me. Here is the code:
Database:

rednet.open("right")
local pass = rednet.receive()

if pass == "Pa$sw0rd" then
print("received!")
rednet.send(111, "on")
print("sended")
sleep(20)
end
os.reboot()

computer containing the password:

rednet.open("right")
print("Password?")
pass = read()
rednet.send(112, pass)
print("Acces to server…")
sleep(5)

commande = rednet.receive()
if commande == "on" then
redstone.setOutput("top", true)
end

thank you for Avence for your help. its been over a week that I try my error without finding

Moved to Ask a Pro.

I don't see "Pa$sw0rd" defined anywhere.

@Agoldfish - "Pa$sw0rd" is the actual password and is supplied by the user via 'pass = read()'

@johnthetiger - start by removing 'sleep(5)' - your program is 'sleeping' when the other program transmits, so it misses the transmission.

Your usage of rednet.receive() is wrong.

local id, message, protocol = rednet.receive(timeout)

You are only capturing the first return of the function, and calling it "pass". Then you compare it to the password. Of course, they will never be the same.

Also, instead of os.reboot() I would use a while true do loop. If you're not familiar with them, here's a tutorial:

Also, please put you code in code tags, for easier readability.
This is done like this:

Without spaces before the brackets.

Good catch, flaghacker - a bit annoyed that I missed that when I just pointed that out in another thread the other day :)/>

Sure, that can happen to everyone.

@OP Don't forget to also remove that sleep
