While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()

   Select
   
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $passwordexit
         GUIDelete()
         Exit
     Case

How do I get the computer to read the password, there is typed in?

What shall I put in case?

you really should use a hash of the password, plain-text passwords are inherently unsafe.

Sorry what?

"a hash"?

and

"plain-text"

What does that mean?

The 128-bit (16-byte) MD5 hashes (also termed message digests) are typically represented as a sequence of 32 hexadecimal digits. The following demonstrates a 43-byte ASCII input and the corresponding MD5 hash:

 MD5("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog") 
  = 9e107d9d372bb6826bd81d3542a419d6

Even a small change in the message will (with overwhelming probability) result in a completely different hash, e.g. changing d to c:

 MD5("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cog") 
  = 1055d3e698d289f2af8663725127bd4b

The hash of the zero-length string is:

 MD5("") 
  = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

Thats the example from wikipedia.

plain-text is just that, plain text, or any text that a person can easily read.
