    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    GO = (Button) findViewById(R.id.go);
    TEXT = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Textin);

    GO.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            if ("hello".equals(TEXT)) {
                Toast andEggs = Toast.makeText(IfActivity.this,
                        "PASSWORD IS CORRECT", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
                andEggs.show();
            } else {
                Toast andEggs = Toast.makeText(IfActivity.this,
                        "PASSWORD IS INCORRECT", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
                andEggs.show();
            }

        }
    });

}

}

What does "i cant get it to work" mean exactly?

TEXT is not a String. It is a reference variable of EditText.

if (TEXT.getText().toString().equals("hello"))
{

}

Use this:

 public void onClick(View arg0) {             
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub              
 String tempTxt = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.Textin)).getText().toString();
 if ("hello".equals(tempTxt )) {
     Toast andEggs = Toast.makeText(IfActivity.this,"PASSWORD IS CORRECT",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
     andEggs.show();
  } 
 else{
   Toast andEggs = Toast.makeText(IfActivity.this,"PASSWORD IS INCORRECT",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
   andEggs.show();
   }
 }

Use this :

if("hello".equals((findViewById(R.id.Textin)).getText().toString())) {  // show toast}
