VBScript to mask password in a batch file

[JROY2011]

I currently have a batch file (below) that runs fine, but when it prompts for the password it displays the text on the screen. Is there a script I can run that will hide/mask the password as its being typed? I am running this batch file in WinPE if that matters.

@ECHO OFF

::VARIABLES
SET title=IMAGEX IMAGE MENU
SET script_dir=%0\..

cls

diskpart.exe /s f:\diskpart.txt
set /P user=Enter your username:
set /P pass=Enter your password:
net use o: \\network_path /USER:domain\%user% %pass%
pause
e:\imagex.exe /apply o:\Windows7.wim 1 C:
C:\windows\system32\bcdboot C:\windows
pause
exit

So I would need a script with that first set of code, then in my batch I would call it by inserting:

strPw = GetPassword( "Enter your password:" )

?

Why use a batch at all?

I hope that helps.
