i won't get much into details except if you still didn't get it.
Note: that is nearly the full solution so be careful if you don't want to burn this challenge.
If you noticed , after entering the password , the program doesn't exit or terminate , it waits for a second input actually. through using debugger you trace until you find where it exactly takes the second input from user , that is a hint , if need more info you can continue reading:
you will notice that it takes the second input , calls "strtol" which converts it to long (number) , then calls a function with this number as an argument , this function compares it with the number "6CB" if matched, it displays the secret , so you just input this number in decimal form , which is "1739"
