Hi Aidy,

It looks like you're mixing two different ways of getting at username  
and password here.
Here are two separate approaches you could try

class Test
   attr_accessor :username, :password

   def initialize
     @username= 'user'
     @password= 'pass'
   end
end

t= Test.new
puts t.username
puts t.password

class Test2
   attr_accessor :details

   def initialize
     @details= {:username => 'user', :password => 'pass'}
   end
end

t= Test2.new
puts t.details[:username]
puts t.details[:password]


I think the problem with your code is a missing colon before  
username. Should be p t.h[:username]

Cheers,
Dave
