#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{

    ifstream file("test.txt");
    string password;
    file.close();
    while(true)
    {
        if (file.is_open())
        {
            file.close();
            cout<<"Enter password to use file: ";
            cin>>password;
            if(password == "hello")
            {
                cout<<"success\n";
                system("start test.txt");
                Sleep(10000);
            }
            if(password != "hello")
            {
                cout<<"wrong password\n";
                file.close();
            }
        }
    }
    system("pause");
    return 0;
