Require a password to continue script

[kyper]

I would like to know how to make that you have to type the correct password into an inputbox in order to continue with the script and exit if the password is wrong.

Have you really tried it? It's easy.. here is an example:

$pass = InputBox("Wait...","Insert password, Password = aaa","","*")
If $pass <> "aaa" Then Exit
MsgBox(0,"Yeah","correct password")

Yea, works great if you don't mind insecure unsecure cleartext passwords.

I recommend using a hashing algorithm instead.

#include "sha1.au3"

$pwd = _SHA1(InputBox("Wait...","Insert password.","My Secret Password.  For your eyes only.","*"))
If $pwd <> "0xCD9FADB53A246C59501F7F966524ADC710A25F86" Then Exit
MsgBox(0,"Yeah","correct password")

edit:

things are unsecure

people are insecure.
