First password program

[MaaaTtY]

Hey, i made this password program but i am having trouble getting it to work. the last thing i need to do it be able to compare the inputed password to the actual password (in this program i want it to be "matt") im not sure how i do this, could someone help? with this code i get undefined symbol 'matt' when i try to compile with borland. i know why i just dont know how to fix it :S

//Passwod Program
//By Matt

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

char password[5];


start:

cout<<"* * * * * * * * * * * * * \n";
cout<<"  Please enter your PIN   \n";
cout<<"-------   4 letters  ------ \n";
cout<<"* * * * * * * * * * * * * \n";

cin.getline (password, 5, '\n' );

if(password == matt ) {
cout<<"Thank You! \n";

}
else {

cout<<"Sorry Incorrect PIN \n";
goto start;
}

}

// Password Program
// By Elysia

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    std::string password;
    const std::string correct_password = "matt";
    do
    {
        cout << "* * * * * * * * * * * * * \n";
        cout << "  Please enter your PIN   \n";
        cout << "-------   4 letters  ------ \n";
        cout << "* * * * * * * * * * * * * \n";
        getline(cin, password);

        if (password != correct_password)
            cout << "Sorry Incorrect PIN \n";
    }
    while (password != correct_password);

    cout << "Thank You!\n";
}

I figured it was easier to show REAL code instead of explaining all the wrong's with your code. Now it's your task to find out why I wrote it the way I did and what's wrong with your approach.

i tried to compile yours and i got this error:

could not find a match for 'getline<charT,traits,Allocator><string,istream>' in function main()

Make sure you:

#include <string>

The other problem is getline, it should be:

getline(cin,password);

Good corrections... didn't test to compile the code. It's easy to miss a few things here and there.
I updated the original post to fix those errors... it's good to have a compilable example!
