The while condition is never true when you enter the correct password. So the while loop is evaluated False and is never triggered.
What you should do, as a general rule of troubleshooting, is to use print statements. So print the two outcomes and print the boolean evaluation I'm assuming when it is false that it prints 'try again' infinitely.
