Try something like this (needs to be modified in order to be a bit more 
flexible):

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Password is
    A : Character;
    S : String(1..10);
begin
    for I in 1 .. 10 loop
       Get_Immediate (A);
       S(I) := A;
       Put ("*");
    end loop;
    New_Line;
    Put_Line (S);
end Password;
