> the user.txt file has one user name on each line and so does the password.txt. with this in mind each user will attempt to log in with all the passwords on password.txt file. when it gets to the end of the line it will go to the next user in users.txt and do the same i.e attempt to log in with all the passwords in the file.

My guess is you've got a nested loop, with the outer loop going through
the user file, and the inner loop going through the password file.

You're attempting to do readline() or equivalent from the password
file in the inner loop, and once you've gone through the outer loop
once, there is nothing left in the password file.

userfile = open("user.txt")
passwordfile = open("password.txt")

for user in  userfile:
      for password in passwordfile:
            process this user/pw combination


If that's your logic, simply move the open line for password.txt into
the outer loop, so it gets reopened each time.

You could also do a seek() to get to the beginning of the file each
time, or you could preread all the passwords into a list, or ...

Please note that the buggy googlegroups has totally messed up your
quoting.  Either restrict the quoting to a couple of lines, or remove
all those extra blank lines.
