hi im new to c++ and am trying to make a lock for my cmd. when i type in my password it skips the if and goes to the else. idk what im doing wrong plz help. oh and im using bloodshed dev c++. and i havent added system ("cmd.exe") to the if part yet because it doesnt compile rite for some reason.

 
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout<< "Please enter your password";
char password
char admin
cin>> password ;

if (password == admin)
cout<<"Hello admin";

else
cout<<"ERROR_REPORT WRONG PASSWORD" ;

system ("pause")
return 0;
}

password and admin need to be strings not chars. You'll also need to include the string header file and to assign the correct password to admin.

You're also missing two ';' on lines 9 and 10.
