Hide password in C

[NSA_CIA]

I have a little problem I use code which is given below to check in software that someone login with admin id I would just hide the password when entering how do I do?

 verifAdmin int () 
   ( 
     char username [100]; 
     char password [100]; 
     puts ( "\ n Please enter your username"); 
     FFL; 
     gets (username); 
     if (strcmp (identifier, "foo") == 0) 
     ( 
      puts ( "\ n Please enter the password"); 
      FFL; 
      gets (password); 
        if (strcmp (password, "bar") == 0) 
          ( 
            CLS; 
            puts ( "\ n \ n \ n"); 
            puts ( "\ n Welcome Administrator you will be redirected in 2 seconds"); 
            sleep (2); 
            return 1; 
          ) 
        else  
           ( 
            puts ( "\ n sorry you are not administrator"); 
            return 0; 
            ) 
     ) 
     else 
         ( 
           puts ( "\ n sorry you are not administrator"); 
           return 0; 
          ) 
   )

the fact I'm in ubuntu and I define the CLS system ( "clear") to clear the screen.

Never use gets (). As it is impossible to know in advance how many characters will be read by gets (), and it will write all the characters read, even if they fall outside the buffer, this function is extremely dangerous to use. We have already used this failure to create security holes. ALWAYS USE fgets () instead of gets ().

At the beginning of the program, call the necessary functions to initialize the library: initscr, cbreak.

while ((c = getch ())! = '\ n' & & n <len - 1) ( 
      if (! iscntrl (c)) ( 
          buffer [n + +] = c; 
          if (mask! = 0) 
              addch (mask); 
      ) 
  ) 

  buffer [n] = '\ 0'; 
  addch ( '\ r'); 
  addch ( '\ n');

Somewhere before leaving the program, call the necessary functions of cleaning and restoration of the library.
