	What do i do if i want to loop my program without goto when while doesn't work? I need it to be able to run a lot of code based off of whether the login was correct or not.

You can use a FOR LOOP if for example you want to allow three login attempts before a screen comes up saying you've been locked out.

You can use a DO... WHILE loop or DO...UNTIL loop.

When you say "WHILE DOESN'T WORK" it sounds as though your real question ought to be what is wrong with this bit of code using a while loop.
