Nested-If statements in Shell-scripting

This is my script:

echo "Name"

read name

if [ "$name" == "abcd" ]; then

 echo "Password"

 read password

 if [ "$password == "pwd" ]; then

  echo "Hello"

 else

  echo "Wrong password"

 fi

else

 echo "wrong username"

fi

And this is the output I get when I run it:

sh hello.sh

Name

abcd

hello.sh: line 14: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'

hello.sh: line 16: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Any idea whats wrong here? This could be a very silly one, but i wasted almost an hour on it.

In Shell script.

if condition
    then
        if condition
        then
            .....
            ..
            do this
        else
            ....
            ..
            do this
        fi
    else
        ...
        .....

you can use case. Here's an example. You won't want to tell anybody which component is wrong, for security reason.

echo "Name"
read name
echo "Password"
read password
case "${name}${password}" in
 "abcdpwd" ) 
     echo "hello";;
  *) echo "User or password is wrong";;
esac

if [ "$password == "pwd" ]; then

You have an unmatched " before $password
