Question

  -(IBAction)ButtonPressed:(id)sender
    { 
        const char *sql = "SELECT AccessCode FROM UserAccess";
        NSString *sqlns;
        sqlns = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:sql];
        if([Password.text isEqual:sqlns])
        {
            NSLog(@"Correct");
        }
            else {
                NSLog(@"Wrong");
            }

    return YES;
}

///

 - (void)createEditableCopyOfDatabaseIfNeeded {

        NSLog(@"Creating editable copy of database");

        // First, test for existence.

        BOOL success;

        NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

        NSError *error;

        NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

        NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

        NSString *writableDBPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"UserAccess.sqlite"];

        success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:writableDBPath];

        if (success) return;

        // The writable database does not exist, so copy the default to the appropriate location.

        NSString *defaultDBPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"UserAccess.sqlite"];

        success = [fileManager copyItemAtPath:defaultDBPath toPath:writableDBPath error:&error];

        if (!success) {

            NSAssert1(0, @"Failed to create writable database file with message '%@'.", [error localizedDescription]);

        }

    }

///

    sqlite3 *newDBconnection;

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

    NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"UserAccess.sqlite"];

    // Open the database. The database was prepared outside the application.

    if (sqlite3_open([path UTF8String], &newDBconnection) == SQLITE_OK) {

        NSLog(@"Database Successfully Opened :) ");

    } else {

        NSLog(@"Error in opening database :( ");

              }

              return newDBconnection;

              }

You need to make some sqlite3 calls to execute the select statement and retrieve the column values.

The sqlite3 quick start has everything in it you need to know for this particular task.
