password form

Hi, I'm trying to password protect my portfolio website. and I've written some code of the password form.

However, I have to click on the 'submit' button in order to enter password. When I change the input type in "submit", this actually solves the problem above, however, this way creates another problem. It won't link to the index2.html that I directed it to. When the input type is "button" this link works perfectly.

---------(CODE BELOW)-------------------------------------------------------

<div class="overlay_top"> <div class="row justify-content-center" style="padding-top: 10%;"> <form name="login"> <input type="password" id="pswd" class="form-control mx-sm-3" aria-describedby="passwordHelpInline" placeholder="Password" style="border-radius: 0rem; width:240px;"> <input type="submit" id="submitbutton" value="Submit" onclick=checkPswd() class="btn btn-white" style="border-radius: 0rem; width:240px; font-weight: 700;"> </form> </div> </div>

    <script>
      function checkPswd() {
          var confirmPassword = "admin";
          var password = document.getElementById("pswd").value;
          if (password == confirmPassword) {
              window.location.href="index2.html";
          }
          else{
              alert("Passwords do not match.");
          }
      }
    </script>
