create a field and put this script in the field :

local thisPassword
on returninfield
   get thisPassword
   if it is "<YourPassWrod>" then
     go to stack "<your mainStack>l"
   else
     answer "Tentative illégale !"
   end if
end returninfield

on enterinfield
   returninfield
end enterinfield

on keydown whichKey
    put whichKey after thisPassword
   put "*" after field "pass"
end keyDown

on backspaceKey
   put empty into field "pass"
   put "" into thisPassword
end backspaceKey

on deleteKey
   put empty into field "pass"
   put "" into thisPassword
end deleteKey



hope this help.
