'str' object is not callable in python

I'm calling this function password() in the password() function, hoping that it would start over. Then comes the 'str' object error.

code:

import time

def sleepFor(sleepForInt):
    time.sleep(sleepForInt / 1000)

def newScreen(): # adte it says
    for itemNew in range(26): 
        print("\n")

def logo(): #  ^~-
    newScreen()

    print("\t\t\t\tLeigh Studio")
    indent(6)

    return None

def indent(space): # adte it says
    for item in range(space):
        print("\n")

def password():
    userName = input("Enter registered UserName > ")
    user = userName

    indent(1)
    if userName == "leigh flix":
        confirm = input("Confirm UserName (y/n) > ")
        indent(2)

        if confirm == "y":
            password = input("\tenter password ) ")

            if password == "comics123":
                menu()

            else:
                print("Password is Incorrect")
                sleepFor(2000)
                password()
        else:
            password()
    else:
        print("No registered UserName as: " + user)
        sleepFor(2000)
        password()

def printID():
    print("C:/users/" + user)

def menu():
    response = input(printID())

    while response != "quit":

        if response == "time":
            time.ctime()

def main(): # main method
    logo()
    sleepFor(1200)
    newScreen()

    password()


# ___Runs program___
main()

error:

I don't know if there talking about the userName = input("Enter registered userName") or something else. oh, btw this is NOT a compile error but a runtime error, if happens when I don't type the right password (which is 'comics123').

The question I am asking Is there a different way of calling the password() function where it doesn't get this error, and or a way to repeat asking for the user if the password is incorrect. Thanks in advance.
