It is compareTo not compareTO

password is your class name (Not a good idea, by concentions, class name should start by a capital letter so your class should be Password)

even if password was a String and you password.compareTo(...
you do not store the result of that comparaison in a int or do a if() on it so the statement is useless

if(passko==pass2)

you cannot compare String using the == operator. You should use the equals() method (or compareTo() and test if it returns 0)
