Command Prompt making a Username and Password

i have tried this, but it keeps returning an error saying the syntax of the command is incorrect. Here is the code i tried:

@echo off
echo Enter Username and Password to view files

set /p user=Enter UserId:
set /p pass=Enter Password:

if /i %user%==admin (if /i %pass%==*my password was here*)

(goto admin1)

:admin1
..etc..

Your parenthesis are off.

@echo off
echo Enter Username and Password to view files

set /p user=Enter UserId:
set /p pass=Enter Password:

if /i "%user%"=="admin" (if /i "%pass%"=="password" goto admin1)

goto skip

:admin1
echo Done
goto END

:skip

:END

The problem with your code is your use of parenthesis. Here's a re-done version of the same code.

@echo off
echo Enter Username and Password to view files

set /p user=Enter UserID: 
set /p pass=Enter Password: 

if /i %user%==admin (
    if /i %pass%==password goto admin1
)

:admin1
::More here...

Also, there is one thing wrong with this code (and yours, if it worked). No matter what user or password you put in, it would always go to :admin1. This is because batch files read from top to bottom, so it would skip the code within the if block and go to the :admin1 block.

You can combat this by putting code in between the code that will redirect the user.

Also, I suggest you look at the formatting help to format your question correctly (putting code in code blocks, links, etc).
