I'm not every good with lua nor this mod but I have been learning a bit, so if you decide to help me please be patient with me. I made a program that opens a room with a password. The only problem is, is the chunk isn't loaded. The computer resets and anyone is able to anything they like, which isn't good. I knew how to fix startup where it runs the program, but that ran into it's own problems. Like not being able to enter the code: 1234 and being able to go back and edit the program or add anything I'd like. I just wanted to see if anyone knew a way to fix this problem. The links to the password program and startup program is lined in the word program.

The problem with you trying to exit out using your admin password is that once your door script has stopped, your run command in your startup file is in a loop and so it will run it again, you can just remove the loop and have the run command. Since the main part of your door program is in a while loop it should keep running until you call error() (you could also just use return )
Also another tip, in your code for correct password (123) you should have it reset x to 1
Edit: I just remembered that cc has that pesky terminate keypress 
however you can avoid the termination by putting
at the top of your code, this is make it so the termination event will not work
Then before you exit your script you can do
And yet another edit: I noticed that the code already has the os.pullEventRaw, good, however it is a good idea to save the old pullEvent then return it to normal, so that still stands.
