It would help if you'd provide the whole stack trace, and indicate exactly which line caused the problem, but I assume it's this one:
         FileInputStream fin=(FileInputStream) getClass().getResourceAsStream("/TestProg/resources/pass.dat");You can't just cast any old class to any old other class. You can only cast a reference to a type that the object it points to actually is.
In any case, you don't need a FileInputStream, since you're not dealing with a file here. Dealing with the file (if the resource even actually is in a file, rather than some other place, like on a web server) is handled for you inside getResourceAsStream.
