Hello guys. I was working on a script that allow me or players to type password to open or close the door and it was working successful. Here's the code.

local pass1 = "open"
local pass2 = "close"
rs.setOutput("bottom", true)
while true do
   term.clear()
   term.setCursorPos(1,1)
   print("Welcome to Silverhustle & Exor's Underground Base. Please enter a password:")
   userPass = read("*")
   for _, side in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
		  rs.setOutput(side, true)
   end
   if userPass == pass1 then
		  rs.setOutput("bottom", false)
   elseif userPass == pass2 then
		  rs.setOutput("bottom", true)
   else --
		  rs.setOutput("bottom", true)
   end
end

But that's not until one player came to my base and used CTRL+T terminate on my code and the door automatically opens. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Please let me know if that's possible, thank.

You can simply add

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

at the top of your code.
This doesn't prevent shutdown or restart events however, as those are hardcoded into the Java side.

That's it? Wow, never knew it's that simple. Thanks!

What Cranium suggested would disable the termination event for the whole computer and if you would exit out of your door lock you wouldn't be able to terminate any other program/script. Looks like you never exit out of the door lock, but to re-allow termination event you should first save the os.pullEvent function and then restore it whenever your script exits:

local pullEvent = os.pullEvent --// Save the os.pullEvent function so we could restore it later

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw --// Overwrite os.pullEvent to disable terminating

--[[/*

Your script goes here

*/]]

if scriptIsGoingToExit == true then --// If we are going to end the program
  os.pullEvent = pullEvent --// restore the original os.pullEvent

  exit() --// Exit out of the program
end

Note: there is no actual function 'exit', nor a variable named 'scriptIsGoingToExit', those variables should be defined by yourself.

After a restart os.pullEvent with termination will be back there.

Unless the script wich overwrites the os.pullEvent runs on startup.
