You can display your username by typing echo %username% in command prompt.

There is no way to display the user password.

sorry
i didnt make my question clear
i am using apat file to access a database throw  sqlplus prompt and of corse the sqlplus requers an user name and password
and as u know it's not applicable to make the password to be seen by othe peuple for that i request if there is any way to type the password without seeing it in the prmpt like this

please enter user names: dddd
please enter Password: PPPP

so i dont want the password to be displayed in the promp wihle i am writing it

use 0 to chcek if password is good and 9 to clear password and yes i know then in password cant be numbers

thanks a lot

 i up graded the code because i don't have the choice command on my prompt so i wrote it this


@echo off
cls
set u=
set /p u=please enter user names:
set tx=please enter Password end it with !:
cls
:A
echo please enter user names: %u%
set /p p2=%tx%
set tx=%tx%^*
if %p2:~-1%==! goto B
set p=%p%%p2%
cls
goto A
:B
REM then the rest of the code

This is quted message that WillyW sended to me

Anyway,   you can add    choice    to your XP system.
All you need is the right file, and then put a copy of it in a directory that is in your path.

In that thread there is a post by me that includes this link:
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA007219/dkclonesup/choice.html
Lots to read there.    Take your time.   You can download     
  choice    there.

I hope this helps.

and your code is good to but you need always press enter in my you dont have

You could look at other options and by just gettin an windows 2000 emulated then use devcom's code. Make the batch file and .exe and copy it to your normal computer. It should run independently. I think so anyway. It works for me.   ♦

i think that this is the best code inter ur user name and password without being afraid that some on see ur password

@echo off
cls
set u=
set /p u=please enter user names:
set tx=please enter Password end it with !:
cls
:A
echo please enter user names: %u%
echo %tx%
choice /n /c:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890#! > ta
for /f %%i in (ta) do set p2=%%i
del ta
set tx=%tx%^*
set p=%p%%p2%
if %p:~-1%==! goto B
cls
goto A
:B
set p=%p:~0,-1%
ur code

i think this will make it easier for all people how will face the same problem as i faced

thanks for all who helped

you can just open ta file with notepad and you have password

no man
it will be impossible because as u see the code when i insert the choice result into the file it will be only one char and next that immediatly i delete the file and recreate it again when the next choice statment comes and even if i can take tha password from the file that is not important pecause my target is to hide it from my nabers how work around me thats all
