Thread: A password code

I am just trying to get a simple password response!!!
I have 3 classes working together.
I am only showing 2 of them. The others just launch classes and make a JFrame.
Am i over complicating this?
Here is code of my start_screen class.

package screen_main;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
 
public class start_screen{
	static JButton OK = new JButton("Okay");
	static JTextField pass_box = new JTextField(15);
	static JLabel label = new JLabel("Enter the password: ");
 
	public static void run(){
		Screen.panel.add(label);
		Screen.panel.add(pass_box);
		Screen.panel.add(OK);
		OK.addActionListener(new ActionListener (){
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				String pass;
				pass = pass_box.getText();
				pass_box.setText("");
				if(pass == "gryff"){
					System.out.println("Correct");
				}else{
					System.out.println("Wrong");
				}
 
			}
		});
	}
 
 
 
}
