title: Hide Input in Batch File
body: <p>I was wondering how I would go about Hiding the input from a 'set /p' command in a batch file.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>set /p Password=What is your password?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>We all know that inputting your password, you would be able to see it. How would I go 'bout hiding it ?</p>
  
  <p>I tried conset.exe from <a href="http://ss64.net/westlake/nt/" rel="noreferrer">here.</a> And used:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>conset /PH Password=What is your password?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And i get "Conset: Error setting variable" :(</p>
  
  <p>Another idea I had, was to change the colour of the console window. But how could I change the colour on the same line? So that you could see the question, but not see the answer?</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas from the pros?</p>
