Rednet Not Sending Password

I am making a password program that uses rednet to connect to a main computer for the password
But it doesnt seem to be getting the password, the main computer is sending(confirmed because it is sending the var to the computer)But not the password

doneyet = 0
sender = "55"
local status, input
print("Recieving Data Via Rednet...Please wait")
while doneyet == 0 do
rednet.open("right")
action, senderID, var = os.pullEvent()
if var == var then
  sleep(0.1)
  action, senderID, cpass = os.pullEvent()
  rednet.open("right")
  doneyet = 1
  end
end
print("Data received")
sleep(0.1)
print("Enter Password")
status, epass = pcall(read)
if epass == cpass then
print("Correct")
end
if not epass == cpass then
print("Incorrect Now Shutting Down")
sleep(1.5)
os.shutdown()
end

Computer sending passwords code:

password ="testpass7"
var = var
x = 1
while x == 1 do
rednet.open("right")
rednet.announce(var)
sleep(0.1)
rednet.announce(password)
end

Edit: Changed line 1 of Computer sending, still doesnt work though D:

the password's not a string. try 'password="testpass7" '

Use code tags instead of quotes, they will syntax highlight your code.

You need to put your password in quotes, though this is only what I saw from a quick glance.
