Question

I need a batch file where a user enters a password and if it is correct it maps a drive. If it is wrong then it needs to go back to the start

I have this

:start
echo    Username=****

SET /P password=Please enter the password

IF %password%==password goto map
IF %password%!==!password goto start

:map

NET USE Z: \\server\folder

It works if the password entered is correct, but doesnt if it is wrong

Any help?

You don’t need IF %password%!==!password goto start altogether. If the password is ok, then goto map, otherwise goto start. That is if you replace IF %password%!==!password goto start with goto start you’ll get what you want.
