C++ if statement problems

Hey, I'm working on a program which will allow the user to log in...
If the user types in the correct password, he will be logged in; If it's a wrong password, it will not let him log in...

******************************************************************

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char answer[10];
cout<<"Please enter the password: ";
cin>>answer;
cin.ignore();

if (answer[10] == 'wrox') {
cout<<"You have successfully logged in";
}
else {
cout<<"Wrong Password";
}
cin.get();
}

*********************************************************************

The problem is that when I run the program, and type in the password "wrox", it answers "Wrong Password" while it should say "You have successfully..."
Can anyone help? Please use simple language I'm just a beginner...

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string answer;
cout<<"Please enter the password: ";
cin>>answer;
cin.ignore();

if (answer == 'wrox') {
cout<<"You have successfully logged in";
}
else {
cout<<"Wrong Password";
}
cin.get();
}


That will work.

Also I have gotten in the habit of doing std::whatever with using the namespace incase I am ever having to use multiple namespaces...

Thanks for the reply but it didn't work :(
It says "no match for 'operator==' in 'answer==2003988344"
use double qoute
if(answer=="wrox")
Thanks, it worked :)
