[JorgeD]

Well i am still confused on how to make a program save info u typed. I dont no how to make it save it then require u to type the same thing again to continue if any1 culd help me with this code..its just practice
This code always goes to bad input when i try and enter the password.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <time.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;
void setcolor(unsigned short color)                 //The function that you'll use to
{                                                   //set the colour
    HANDLE hcon = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hcon,color);
}

int main()
{
  char name[14];
  char pass[20];
  string pass_set[20];
  char yesno[1];
  char *p;
  loop:

  cout<<" Enter your name: ";
  cin.getline ( name, 14 );
  cout<<" keep name " << name << "? y / n ";
  cin>> yesno;
  cin.ignore();
  if (strcmp(yesno,"y")==0) {
    cout<<" Ok now enter a password: ";
    cin.getline ( pass, 20 );
    cout<<"Remember your password!\n";
  }
  else if (strcmp(yesno,"n")==0) {
    cout<<" Ok chose a different name\n";
    goto loop;
  }
  else {
    cout<<" bad input ";
    return 0;
  }
  loop1:
  cout<<" Ok "<< name <<" lets begin.\n";
  cout<<" Please enter your password: ";
  cin>> pass;
  if (strcmp(pass,"pass")==0) {
    cout<<" correct ";
  }
  else {
  cout<<" bad input";
  return 0;
  }
}

Firstly, you should move away from using C style char arrays and the goto whenever possible.

Here is a link to a guide on using strings and validating input from the console.

After that, you might want to read some info on C++ file I/O. This'll give you tutorials on how to save/load information to/from a file.
