You could create a loop, take input, replace screen with the password char like '*' or something. i rekon this will work. give it a go

See if this works, I grab it from google:

/************************************************** **********************
*
* Purpose: To read and verify a password.
* Compile: gcc password.c -lcurses
* Notes: To read text from the keyboard on a UNIX system without
* it being echoed to the screen you can use noecho() and
* getch() from curses.h In DOS you can use getch() in conio.h

FireCore is saying the same you want. You can take the password in string and for each alphabet you will have to replace * to show it on screen.

You can search on Google also.
