Hide Password Characters at CLI in Windows

1
I'm writing a script for CLI on a windows server that needs the password characters hidden or masked from the user. I've found information on how to do it in a Unix Shell but not in a Windows MS-DOS environment.

All I need is the characters typed at the CLI to be hidden or masked with say a ' * '.

Any ideas?
