VBScript Secure password input?

Greetings to all. I have a five line VB script which requires password input. The script runs from a shortcut icon and uses the following line to get the password from the user:
…
pwd=inputbox(“Enter Password:”, “Password Required”)
…
Inputbox doesn’t seem to have an option to hide the password being input. Is there an alternative method of getting the input which will allow me to hide the password?
