What are you talking about? What password? What repeated password? What is "uswer"?
For your information, passwords are never stored anywhere and never compared with user input. Well, in properly designed systems. Surprised?

If you want to compare passwords with one stored in a database, you better have that one in the database hashed or you have very, very serious security issues. The way to compare passwords, is to hash the password a user has entered and then compare that hash with the one stored in a database. If you haven't done it this way, FIX IT NOW!
