--Create an edit box and define it as "editBox".
editBox = guiCreateEdit( 0.3, 0.1, 0.4, 0.1, "", true )
-- and attach our button to the outputEditBox function
guiEditSetMasked ( editBox, true ) --ensure that it is masked.

--setup our function to output the message to the chatbox
function checkPassword ()
        local text = guiGetText ( editBox )--get the text from the edit box
        if text == password then --if the text matches the password
                outputChatBox ( "Password Correct!" )
        else
                outputChatBox ( "Password Incorrect!" )
        end
