    for (i=0;i<10;i++)
    {
    A[i]=entrada.next();
    }

    String searchKey;
    System.out.println("Give me your password");
    searchKey=entrada.next();

    Default Re: find a password

    Try replacing the == with equals(searchKey), that should fix the problem. If you don't care whether letters are upper or lower case, you can instead use equalsIgnoreCase(searchKey).
