Trying to compare strings using if statements but getting operator errors. How can I fix this to make the statement compare the strings? Using Code::Blocks as compiler.

(NOTE: Most of the commenting in raw code is for experimenting and there are tons of errors overall that I can go over later)
This is for a leaderboard I am trying to create for a Tic-Tac-Toe game. I have tried different ways to compare the strings to fix this such as .compare.
void admin (string names, int nameW[10], int wins[10], unsigned int a[10]) //called variables from main
{
char repeat = 'y'; //used for function loop
char resetAll; //used elsewhere
int winCount; //used elsewhere
string reset;
string modify; //used elsewhere
string admin; //used elsewhere
cin >> reset;
//Reset
if (reset==names[0])
{
wins[0] = 0;
}
}
Build log:
error: no match for 'operator==' (operand types are 'std::__cxxll::string {aka std::__cxll::basic_string<char>}' and '__gnu_cxx::__alloc_traits<std::allocator<char> >::value_type {aka char}')
I am expecting the reset variable to be the same as the names[0] variable so that the code can execute. Results are that code cannot build and run (unable to test program).
The problem was the admin function parameter where the string "names" did not declare the array.
Turn:
void admin (string names, ...
Into:
void admin (string name[10], ...
