String User & password combination isn't getting checked simple java

Question

I am just a beginner in Java. Here, I want to make a User ID & Password input, which will get checked & tell its Right or wrong. But each time it's giving the wrong answer despite inputting the correct combination. Here is my code:

import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.EventQueue;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JPasswordField;
import javax.swing.JButton;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;


public class Zihan {

public JFrame frame;
public JTextField textField;
public JPasswordField passwordField;
public static String gtxt,ptxt;

/**
 * Launch the application.
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            try {
                Zihan window = new Zihan();
                window.frame.setVisible(true);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
}

/**
 * Create the application.
 */
public Zihan() {
    initialize();
}

/**
 * Initialize the contents of the frame.
 */
public void initialize() {
    frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);

    JLabel lblEmailuserId = new JLabel("Email/User ID:");
    lblEmailuserId.setBounds(76, 30, 90, 14);
    frame.getContentPane().add(lblEmailuserId);

    textField = new JTextField();
    textField.setBounds(171, 27, 86, 20);
    frame.getContentPane().add(textField);
    textField.setColumns(10);

    passwordField = new JPasswordField();
    passwordField.setBounds(171, 87, 86, 20);
    frame.getContentPane().add(passwordField);

    JLabel lblPassword = new JLabel("Password:");
    lblPassword.setBounds(76, 90, 69, 14);
    frame.getContentPane().add(lblPassword);

    JButton btnLogIn = new JButton("Log In");
    btnLogIn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
             gtxt = textField.getText();
             ptxt = passwordField.getText();
             new CheckID(gtxt,ptxt);

            JFrame login = new JFrame("Login window");
            login.setSize(200, 200);
            login.setVisible(true);
            JLabel msg = new JLabel();
            msg.setText(CheckID.msgt);
            login.getContentPane().add(msg);
            frame.setVisible(false);
        }
    });
    btnLogIn.setBounds(121, 137, 89, 23);
    frame.getContentPane().add(btnLogIn);
    }
}

& This is the CheckID class to check Email & Password:

public class CheckID {
public static String msgt;
String cU = "zihan";
String cP = "123";
CheckID(String tx ,String px){
if(tx==cU && px ==cP)
{

    msgt = "Welcome to messenger";
}
else
{
    msgt = "Sorry! Wrong Password/Email";
}
}

}

Answer 1

Change

if(tx==cU && px ==cP)

to

if(tx.equals(cU) && px.equals(cP))
