Answer 1

It's not safe to pass parameters to a query like the way you did. The problem you encountered might be caused by some unsafe characters. You might need to escape it.

Your implementation is wide open to SQL Injection. Use prepared statement instead. It's safer and will save you from problems such as this.

And one more thing, I notice that you are trying to search $_GET['password'] inside your database directly. Where I can conclude that you store the password inside your database without any hashing or encryption. You might want to reconsider that.
