findstr and && do not play ball together

this is supposed to detect which error was posted from 7z.exe to "%temp%error.unp" and act accordingly. however, the && after findstr does not work at all, the specific commands are never executed. what am I doing wrong?

7z.exe

"%temp%error.unp"

&&

findstr

type "%temp%error.unp" || findstr /c:"Wrong password" && set /p "password=enter password other than fanedit.org: " && goto security
type "%temp%error.unp" || findstr /c:"not enough space" && rmdir /s /q %drive%$recycle.bin && echo disk was full, recycle bin emptied out.

As mentioned in the comment to Proteks answer you'll need parentheses to enclose a block.

No need to cram all in one line then.
Reacting solely on an errorlevel means you should suppress other output with >Nul 2>&1

>Nul 2>&1

Edit: reversed redirection order due to @sst's hint

Try:

type "%temp%error.unp" | findstr /c:"Wrong password" >Nul 2>&1 &&(
set /p "password=enter password other than fanedit.org: "
goto security
)
type "%temp%error.unp" | findstr /c:"not enough space" >Nul 2>&1 &&(
rmdir /s /q %drive%$recycle.bin
echo disk was full, recycle bin emptied out.
)


2>&1
