Solution 1

Change register() function name to Register(). register is a C/C++ reserved keyword.

You missing semicolon.
The line:

C++

int count=0
cout <<"Welcome! Please enter your first name\n";

should be:

C++

int count=0;
cout <<"Welcome! Please enter your first name\n";

And all your functions should have void as return value:

C++

void showmenu()
void Register ()
void login()
void forgotpassword()

Change register() to Register(). register is a reserved C/C++ keyword and as such cannot be used as function or variable names
