Code:

public class IfActivity extends Activity {
	Button GO;
	EditText TEXT;

	/** Called when the activity is first created. */
	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		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();
				}

			}
		});

}

Your if's are built up correctly, but your comparison is incorrect. You are trying to compare the text "hello" with the EditText control TEXT. Instead you must compare the text "hello" with the text inside the EditText like this:

Code:

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