I'm unclear what you expect.

In the submitted code it looks like you do...

password = scanner...
if (password correct) {
    ...
    filename = scanner...
    if (filename correct) {
        ...
    } else if (password equals itself) {
        ...
    }
}

do you want while loop to run forever?

[brazen pulsar]

Think about trying to write out what you want to happen in words, ignoring the code...

eg

Until the user has entered a valid password
* prompt for the password
* check that the password is valid
   * if it is valid continue with the program
   * other keep prompting them

Now that we have a valid user...

so whats the problem

@dapper spade you don't need to wait for us to be available to give more information. You likely live in a completely different timezone to some of the helpers, so waiting for time-alignment limits you to a much smaller pool of helpers.

yeah thats the reason im not avaible always, ok so the problem is that when i always put the password wrong it usally said "wrong password, please retry" but if i add that while and add another simbol to the end of the file, the else if of the wrong password message stop working
