i need some help with my code

local input = read("*")
  if input == "SteamPower" then
    redstone.setOutput("left", true)
    sleep(5)
	redstone.setOutput("left", false)
  elseif input == "exit" then --needs to be elseif while creating a menu system like this.
	sleep(2)
    print("shutting down....")
    sleep(2)
    os.shutdown
  else
    print("wrong password")

This should work a little better.

Well.. #1 that's pretty insecure anyone could just hold ctrl + T and terminate your program.
(Meaning they bypass your password COMPLETELY)

#2, I already have a code I wrote for this kind of thing so I guess I can share it, this should work.

Spoiler

function clear()
	term.clear()
	term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end

function door()
	clear()
	local temp = os.pullEvent
	local PASSWORD = "PASSWORD GOES HERE"
	local function dkeys(sawp)
		local disable = {
		[0] = function() os.pullEvent = temp end,
		[1] = function() os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw end
			  }
		disable[swap]()
	end
	clear()
	dkeys(1)
	print("Please enter password:")
	write("> ")
	local input = read()
	if input == PASSWORD then
		clear()
		print("Access Granted!")
		textutils.slowPrint("Unlocking...")
		sleep(1)
		clear()
		print("Welcome!")
		redstone.setOutput("left", true)
		sleep(3)
		redstone.setOutput("left", false)
		os.reboot()
	else
		print("Access Denied!")
		sleep(1)
		os.reboot()
	end
end

door()

local input = read("*")

    redstone.setOutput("left", true)

  elseif input == "exit" then --needs to be elseif while creating a menu system like this.
    sleep(2)
    print("shutting down....")
    sleep(2)
    os.shutdown() --oops, forgot to add the "()" to the end of this command.
  else
    print("wrong password")
  end

door()

it has a os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw at the begaining there more than that thats just the part thats messed up. ill try yours thought

while true do
shell.run("welcome")
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
term.setCursorPos(31, 8)
local password = read("*")
id password == "password" then
sleep(1)
print("Welcome")
redstone.setOutput("left", true)
sleep(5)
redstone.setOutput("left", true)
elseif password == "edit" then
shell.run("edit", "startup")
end
end
