You didn't say what system you're using, but if you're using *nix, then use the routines in termios.h and disable echoing.

I understand that your intentions are good, but don't recommend code with so many flaws:
- SourceForge.net: Void main - cpwiki
- FAQ > Why gets() is bad / Buffer Overflows - Cprogramming.com
- Avoid scanf() character (same principle is true with printf as well)
- <conio.h> - C++ Forum (instead of conio.h...)
