Trying to make a locked computer

Hello everybody,

Ive been trying to make an locked computer and it hasnt quite worked out for me,
i'm new to this all and need some help on this, everytime i enter my code it says "Access Granted" but than puts me back on the login screen
My next step will be trying to make a locked communication system / floppy disks, so if you got any tips for those :)/>

Here is the code (I didn't know how to put it in any other way)

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
if true than do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
textutils.slowPrint("Enter Password:")
input = ("*")
if input == "Hello" then
term.clear()
term.setCursorpos(1, 1)
textutils.slowPrint("Welcome User!")
else
textutils.slowPrint("Incorrect Password!")
sleep(5)
end
end
end

Thanks for the help :D/>!

I believe you want to change the second line to "while true do". By the way, the keyword is then, not than. Also, after printing "Welcome user" add break on a new line. The code should look like this:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
textutils.slowPrint("Enter Password:")
input = ("*")
if input == "Hello" then
term.clear()
term.setCursorpos(1, 1)
textutils.slowPrint("Welcome User!")
break
else
textutils.slowPrint("Incorrect Password!")
sleep(5)
end
end
end

By the way, "*" will never equal "Hello". You may want to use read( "*" )

I've noticed that if you get it wrong, it allows you into the computer anyway, so i was thinking maybe for the end result of getting it wrong you could do:

--Password Code
else
textutils.slowPrint("Incorrect Password")
sleep(1)
os.reboot()
end

I also changed the sleep time as waiting 5 seconds is just boring.

also, i have a strongish lock if you're willing to use:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print"Enter Password"
write""
input = read("*")
if input == "hello" then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
textutils.slowPrint("Welcome...")
sleep(1)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print"CraftOS 1.7"
else
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
textutils.slowPrint("Incorrect Password")
sleep(1)
os.reboot()
end

It is a simple yet effective password.
I didn't bother making it look pretty either, but you can do that yourself if you want :)/>
Also, This code means you dont need to have tons of ends at the end of the code, also, it doesn't use a while loop, which isn't very good i think.
