Hi John 
let me answer your questions 
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.
So to your second question I will use all the users one after the other attempting to log in.
I am able to get each user to use "x" number of passwords in the password.txt that part works fine. The login section is where I am stuck ?
