```python
def find_password(keyword):
    try:

            index = {}
            for line in f.readlines():
                keyword_index, line_number = line.strip().split(':')
                index[keyword_index] = int(line_number)
if keyword in index:
            line_number = index[keyword]
            with open('passwords.txt', 'r') as f:
                passwords = f.readlines()
            return passwords[line_number].strip().split(':')[-1]
        else:
            return None
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print("Index file not found.")
        return None
# Example usage
password = find_password('Google')
if password:
    print(f'The password for Google is: password')
else:
    print('Password not found.')
