help with a vbscript password program

[silentdeath]

I'm starting vb script and Ive been jotting down ideas, 1 that cought my eye was the idea of a little password program.

i was thinking of it being like

wscript.echo "enter your safelock password"
'(this is the part i couldnt quite get)
'it will prompt you for a password in a text box and if you get it right it will 'display
If orange
then
wscript.echo "Granted!"
else
'it will shut down with something like this
Set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Wshshell.run "cmd"
wshshell.sendkeys "shutdown -s -t 5"
wscript.sleep 100
Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
do
wscript.sleep 100
wshshell.sendkeys"{ENTER}"

and i would put it in my start up folder

so...any help? (sorry if its crowded or the commands are wrong but im starting on vbscript)

Well, the answer to your question is the InputBox Function

But... I HOPE this is an exercise in learning some VBScript, and not actually an attempt at adding security to your system...

...what I mean is, this would be trivial to bypass
