It does not matter if the table has two columns. This query
query = "SELECT Password FROM Profile where" + "(Name = '"+n+"')";
is only selecting one of them. You will only get one column in your result set. If you want two columns in your resultset, use this query
query = "SELECT Name, Password FROM Profile where" + "(Name = '"+n+"')";
