Try to describe your problem a bit better please. It really gives us little "to work on"....

You want to see what's in the ******** piece of "text", it's a bit problematic in DOS but you can do it in normal windows with tools like this showpassword tool or try googleing for another one yourself. Hope it helps!

-Nerevar

[iamtheky]

yeah, thats totally not DOS.

a search for asterix password recovery should help, maybe + windows command prompt

[Ponch]

Yeah, that's totally not asterix password recovery.

The OP wants to type some command or input in a DOS box without it appearing readable on the screen.

What OS we don't know. Probably XP.

[iamtheky]

if your interp is correct you deserve those stars.

I went with nerevars translation so at least the answers were linear towards retrieving plain text from the asterix in a command prompt.

Although it indeed may not be the query.

Unfortunately, the lack of clarity

I have a code required a user name and password

At the time of writing the password box I want to hide or show when writing in the form of Stars

look this code batch

@echo off

start /wait %comspec% /v:on /c "mode 40,10 & title Login Window & color 1e & echo. & set /p name=Enter Name: & set /p pswd=Enter password: & cls & echo name=!name!>login.txt & echo pswd=!pswd!>>login.txt & exit"

for /f "tokens=1* delims==" %%i in (login.txt) do (

if %%i==name set name=%%j

if %%i==pswd set pswd=%%j

)

echo Name is %name%

echo Password is %pswd%

save this on cmd and tes if run will show box say enter user and pass

now I wanna know how can hide this pass if I type on cmd or Encrypted like star

FYI, check this thread where a similar question has been asked and replied to :

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=126348

I would guess that being C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

we can rule out:

DOS

WIN9x/Me

Linux

Solaris

Which leaves us with NT/2K/XP/2003 and possibly Vista/2008 and maybe even Windows 7

The color scheme and font seems to indicate Windows 2000...
