what us wrong with this code 🤔

Question

import time
import string
import hashlib

ready = False
start = time.monotonic()
chars = list(string.printable)[:95]
base = len(chars)
n = 0
hashmethod = 0
password = ""
solved = False
quit = ""

while not ready:
password = input("Enter a valid MD5 or SHA-1 hash: ")
if len(password) == 32:
ready = True
elif len(password) == 40:
ready = True
hashmethod = 2

def numberToBase(n, b):
digits = []
while n:
digits.append(int(n % b))
n //= b
return digits[::-1]

if password == '':
print('Your password is empty')
solved = True

while not solved:
lst = numberToBase(n, base)
word = ''.join([chars[x] for x in lst])
if hashmethod == 2:
hashedGuess = hashlib.sha1(word.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()
else:
hashedGuess = hashlib.md5(word.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()
if password == hashedGuess:
solved = True
print('-Stats-')
print('Pass: ' + word)
print('Attempts: ' + str(n))
print('time: ' + str((time.monotonic() - start)) + ' sec')
while quit != "QUIT":
quit = input('Type <QUIT> to quit: ').upper()
else:
n += 1

This will not work properly on Sololearn because you are taking input in an endless loop. Interactive code like this, is not suitable for this platform. Apart from that, I cannot tell if it has any particular issues, you never mentioned any specific error, and you didn't describe what you expect your program to do.
