I want to use a password to open a folder.I am able to do that by matlab programming,but my password is shown while writing.How can i encrypt my password by '*****' while writing itself..??

Don't do this. Displaying a series of *'s to mask the password is not encryption. MATLAB is still saving the password in an unencrypted state despite what is shown on the screen. All the *'s are doing is hiding a security flaw.

• FEX: passcode
• FEX: passwordentrydialog
• FEX: getauthentication
• FEX: 41 GUI examples (example 37)
• FEX: login
• FEX: password-gui
• FEX: passwordui

The FileExchange is a good start point, when you look for solutions of standard problems.
