I don't know how to make it so if you input anything other then a certain word, it will say "that password is incorrect"

What i have so far:

+ Code Snippet

disable escapekey

input "enter your password" ,word$

if word$ = "mypassword"
end

I've tried if word$ = else, but that doesn't work.

Oh, and this is in DBP code.

do 
   word$=""
   input "enter your password", word$
   
   `Is the password right?
   if word$="mypassword"
      print "PASSWORD CORRECT"
      `leave the loop
      exit
      
      `Else (if it isnt "mypassword"...)
      else
         
         print "PASSWORD INCORRECT"
         `Don't leave the loop, go round again
   endif
   
loop

print "Congratulations on getting your password right."
print "Something to be proud of.  Have a medal."
wait key

etc

If you need any parts with more detailed comments, just say.

(Note that you should NOT rely on this code for a secure system. If you want one of them, just say; i was just adding to your code
