See Common Java Mistakes: == versus equals()

Welcome to JAVA 101! We must get this question like 5 times a day on this forum.

Basically, Strings (which is what user and pass are) should be compared using one of the String comparing methods. Specifically, if you want to check two Strings for the same value (case-sensitive), use the String.equals(String) method. If you want to check two Strings for the same value (not case-sensitive), use the String.equalsIgnoreCase(String) method.

The use of the == sign is telling the program to check the two Strings to see if they share the same spot in memory, not to compare their values.

Similarly, to compare any objects for the same value, you should use the Object.equals(Object) method, not the == sign.

The only case where you should use the == sign to check value is with simple-type numbers (such as ints, double, floats, ect.).

		if (user.equals("user") == true && pass.equals("pass") == true)
			System.out.println("Access granted!!!");
		else

You don't need to have:

if (user.equals("user") == true && pass.equals("pass") == true)

This will do:

if (user.equals("user") && pass.equals("pass"))
