# ***** DAILY CHALLENGE #5 - EASY *****

# Your challenge for today is to create a program which is password protected, and wont open unless the correct user
# and password is given.
#
# For extra credit, have the user and password in a separate .txt file.
#
# For even more extra credit, break into your own program :)
