Hello,
I am doing this project for the science fair. I have a question regarding the passwords.txt file. Am I able to add passwords to the file and import into the code? If so, how can I do that?

You could change the content of the file or add to it.... and you would access the text file in exactly the same way as if you were using the text file unaltered.
Refer back to step 3 under Cracking a Password in the project

Make sure you understand what that text file is used for - which type of password cracking strategy uses it.
The actual passwords you are trying to crack are in the .py program. One of those is shown in plain text. The others are encrypted so that you don't know what they are.... unless your code works to solve them.
