// Program asks user to enter password

// the user must re-enter the password

using System;

const string pass2 = house;

const string pass3 = mouse;

string password;

Console.Write("Please enter your password ");

Console.WriteLine("Invalid password. Please enter again. ");

password = Console.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine("Valid password");

}

What errors are you getting?
When you create your project you should choose Console Application since its gonna be on console so you get the appropiate template.

Well another error is that when difining the string variable it should be done like

 const string pass1 = "home"

notice the quotes

Also you are missing an openning bracket for the while and i think your while loop is infinite

you should do a break if the pass is valid or something like that

EDIT: the condition on the while should be && not ||

What's the problem?

If you are only looking for a way how to improve your code, this might give you an idea:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
	string[] passwords = { "home", "house", "mouse" };
	string entered_password = string.Empty;


	while (!passwords.Contains(entered_password))
	{
		Console.Write("Please enter your password ");
		entered_password = Console.ReadLine();
	}

	Console.WriteLine("Valid password");
}

Cool idea is there a way once password entered it open a program for an example internet explore?

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("iexplore.exe");

Something like that I think :-)
