 Unlocking with Correct Password

- The primary functionality of the system is to

allow access to the door when the correct
password is entered.

- Upon entering the correct password, the

system should promptly unlock the door,
allowing entry to authorized users.

- The password should be securely stored and

encrypted within the system to prevent
unauthorized access.

 Error Handling for Incorrect Password

- In the event of an incorrect password entry,

the system should provide appropriate error
handling mechanisms.

- This may include displaying an error message

indicating an incorrect password and prompting
the user to try again.
