char password2[50];
bool a=true;
int x=0;

while(a&&x<=2)
{
	
	cout<<"ID= ";cin>>id2;
	cout<<"PASSWORD= ";cin>>password2;
	if(strcmp(id,id2)==0&&strcmp(password,password2)==0){a=false;cout<<"DO IT\n";}
	if(strcmp(id,id2)!=0&&strcmp(password,password2)==0){cout<<"\t\t\t\tPASSWORD OK\n";x++;}
	if(strcmp(id,id2)==0&&strcmp(password,password2)!=0){cout<<"\t\t\t\tID OK\n";x++;}
	if(strcmp(id,id2)!=0&&strcmp(password,password2)!=0){cout<<"\t\t\t\tID & PASSWORD IS WRONG\n";x++;}
}

You need a thread. See this:

Replace wait() with wait_for(...). Set ready to true (and notify cv) if the login is sucessfull otherwise on timeout within the thread exit().

all the code you give me can not run....
i use dev c++...can any one help me

[Thomas1965]

You need to enable C++11 in your settings. Go to Tools->Compiler options->Settings->Code generation->language standard and set it to ISO C++11. If it still won't work then post all the error messages you get.

with dev c++ i'm afraid you're beyond help, the best u could do is switch to a modern IDE like Code::Blocks immediately

[Thomas1965]

@gunnerfunner,
in Code::Blocks setting the compiler options is not much easier.

[gunnerfunner]

thomas - the question was not whether it was easier or not but which one is more modern - C::B admits (some of) the C++14 stuff which I don't think DevCPP does and the program in the link I posted has been tested with C::B

[Thomas1965]

Dev-Cpp uses the same MinGW compiler that comes with Code::Blocks 16.01.

the program in the link I posted

Which one ? There are quite a few code examples.
