loop == 0

Please help, I don't know what am I doing wrong. I need the program to ask me for a password and when I enter the correct one it should continue with the program, if i don't, I get 3 chances then the program terminates. Right now when I test it even if I entered the wrong password it still continues to do the program.

This is the output right now:

Please enter password:hi That was not a valid password, please try again.

Welcome to the second half of the program! Please enter your name:
