My batch file cannot continue on when I enter the number 2

I wrote a batch script that asks for an input. The script closes whenever I type "2" and hit Enter. I checked the loop but it looks completely fine. At first I thought it was an error with some of the variables, but it wasn't. Also this script checks for admin privileges but with the permissions, it doesn't work. I could do all the commands successfully without loading it as admin privileges. By the way, please explain it in a way so that I can understand. I am 13 years old...

This is my code:

@echo off
chcp 65001 >nul
color 0A
title Slimy's Account Hacking Tool
set /p pass="Enter password: "
cls
if "%pass%" NEQ "slimy" exit
:menu
echo.
echo  ***************
echo       Menu
echo  ***************
echo.
echo.
echo 1) List Users on Computer
echo 2) Create a New User
echo 3) Change a User's Password
echo 4) Delete a User Account
echo 5) Exit Slimy's Account Hacking Tool
echo.
set /p input="©️ "

if %input% EQU 1 (
    title List Users
    cls
    net user
    pause
    cls
    goto menu
)

if "%input%" EQU 2 (
    call checkadmin
    title Create a New User
    cls
    set /p user="USERNAME: "
    set /p password="PASSWORD: "
    net user %user% %password% /add
    echo New user created with credentials:
    echo %user% : %password%
    pause
    cls
    goto menu
)

if %input% EQU 3 (
    call checkadmin
    title Change a USer's Password
    cls
    set /p username="TARGET USER: "
    set /p passsword="NEW PASSWORD: "
    net user %username% %password%
    pause
    cls
    goto menu
)

if %input% EQU 4 (
    cls
    echo you have no morals and are messed up for trying to do this.
    timeout /t 3
    cls
    goto menu
)

if %input% EQU 5 Exit

:checkadmin
net session >nul
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 (
    cls
    echo.
    echo Restart the script and run it as admin.
)

Solution

Notice that your condition for a “2” has quotes around the variable name:

if "%input%" EQU 2 (

The comparison then becomes: does "2" equal 2. The answer is no.

Using quotes is often a good idea, but you must also put quotes around the other side:

if "%input%" EQU "2" (

Notice also that your script ends with an exit, which will terminate the cmd interpreter. If you only mean to terminate your script, you should instead use one of goto :EOF or exit /b.
