title: How can I mask/hide password entry in WinPE using batch or vbscript?
body: <p>I need password entry to not be displayed while typing. It can either stay blank or use * characters. It can be in either batch or vbscript and it will only be used while booted into WinPE. In older versions, we used this vbscript</p>
  
  <pre><code>CreateObject("ScriptPW.Password")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I'm finding this is no longer available with Windows 7. I read it's because of a no longer supported file scriptpw.dll. This needs to be done without external files or 3rd party executables. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
