There is no chance to create a password input dialog in the command window, which displays asterics instead of the characters. But there are many solutions in the FileExchange. Simply search for them: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=password

You can download the submissions and either use them directly or learn from the code.
