Well since you didn't give an error I'm going to assume your
problems are as follows:
* Use raw_input() instead of input() # input evals the input received.
* pass prompt as the argument to raw_input so that your prompt gets
set # might want to give prompt a default value
* password.lower() so Y, YE, YES, N, NO, NOPE also work for input

Did you miss the python 3 part? Raw_input was removed and input now
behaves like raw_input did in 2.x
