Simple User/Pass Access

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Test {

I am a newbie to Java and have been learning and testing. My question is this, is the code above proper for a simple protected program in its current state?

Typically password are stored in a database. Actually their digests are stored in the database. A digest is a fixed length string created by applying some algorithm to a string in such a way that it is practically impossible to deduce the password given it's digest.
The authentication is then done by comparing digests rather than comparing the actual passwords.

Just for the sake of argument and to stay within my limits, this program is to be used by only me and only on my computer, and therefore I would have the only password. Would the above work?

Your problem would be that anyone who has access to your program (even the compiled .class files) will be able to open the .class file and see both the user name and password in it.
