how to make the password in to asterisk and asign a exact password for char.

[liza12]

uhm.... excuse me but can you please help me? i'm having trouble with making password in TURBO c.... the condition goes like this, while the user is entering a password, the user will not see alpha-numeric characters instead, he/ she can see only asterisk... and the computer will read the password.
if the password is 'liza' it will clear the screen and it will loading...if it`s not it will print 'failed to log-in'
can you please tell me the code?????


my only problem is how to asign password and the computer or the program will read the password

here`s my code:

#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{

char *ptr;
char pwd[150];
char c;
int a,x;
int i=0;
char password[15];

      clrscr();

      printf("ENTER PASsword");


while(1)
{

   gets(password);
   x=strcmp(password, "liza");
  c=getch();
if(c==13)
{

pwd[i]=NULL;
break;
}

printf("*");
pwd[i++] = c;
}
   if(x!=0)
   {
	  printf("FAILED TO LOG-IN");
	}

     clrscr();

      for(a=1;a<=80;a++)
    {
    gotoxy(a,1);printf("\xDB");
    gotoxy(a,24);printf("\xDB");
    delay(990);
    gotoxy(37,13);printf("LOADING!!!");
    }

getch();
}

kindly help me..thnx in advance

I have run this code in VC++ 6.0.
It works. Please check it out.

#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
//#include<graphics.h>
main()
{

int c;
int i;
char pwd[80];
// clrscr();

printf("ENTER PASsword");


for ( i = 0; i < 79 && (c = getch()) != '\r'; ++i )
{
pwd[i] = c;
putch('*');
}


pwd[i] = '\0';
printf("\n");;
if ( strcmp(pwd, "liza") == 0 )
{
printf("Correct \n");
}
else
{
printf("INCorrect \n");
}
return 0;
}


I hope this helps you
