Looks like the problem is not with GOTO, but specifying a colour. Use

INK RGB(255,255,255)

as a general rule, GOTO statements are bad. Try breaking out the code into Subroutines. Have the sub return to the calling code regardless of whether or not the password is wrong, do the condition test in the calling code, and either let the program continue on a successful login, or recall the sub on a failed login. You could also incorporate a counter that lets the user attempt to login a fixed amount of times before the program quits.

This is just general info - I haven't looked at your code

Is the source the latest version? You've still got...

ink (255,255,255)

should be

ink rgb(255,255,255)

Not quite : ink rgb(255,255,255),0

Ink takes two parameters!
