Signing UpStep 1What You Need To Know
First off, you need some basic training in batch scripting if you have no clue as to what your doing!
If you already know, please, feel free to skip ahead to step 2. But here I will give you some of the basic "vocab" you will see in many basic batch files.
To start, you will almost always need to start your batch file off with this first line
"@ echo off" This line allows you to create text in your batch file with the "Echo" command, and it makes sure you don't see the "echo" part while the file is running.
"Echo" command is the syntax that allows for text to be seen in the batch file. simply use this line of code to create any text you wish
"Echo Your Text Here"
The third most common script you will see in this instructable is the "ping localhost" line. What this does is wait a set amount of time (in seconds) until the next line of script can be run. The command is as follows...
"ping localhost -n {time in seconds here} >nul"
Then to close any script of the entire program, depending on where you put this code, use this...
"cls"
this really doesn't need to be explained too much more.
And finally, before any of this can begin, you must have Notepad open in order to do any scripting.
Pleas continue to Step 2.

set/p "pass=Password: "
if %pass%==(Your Password Here) goto correct
cls
echo Incorrect Password!
ping localhost -n 3 >nul
attrib +s +h (This file's name)

pause
That is what I call passwording!
