Thread: Need help with checking passwords

I made a program that checks a password that you enter. This is different than most because i want to enter it using buttons. If you get it right the program display "Correct" if you get it wrong it displays "Incorrect". The problem is when i run the program it always say the password is incorrect. Please help me fix this problem. You can find the problem in the enterListener new the bottom.
Thanks.

        //============================================EnterListener
		class EnterListener implements ActionListener {
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
		Object  source = (JButton)evt.getSource();
 
// The password is 8897		
// Here is the problem
 
               if (source.equals(buttonOrder)) {
			_displayField.setText("Correct");
 
		} else { 
			_displayField.setText("Incorrect, try again");
			}
 
 
		}
 
 
 
		}

Here is the full program.
