Just use an image font where every character is an asterisk.

The way MrJolteon explained is simply a method of hiding the actual text. Another way to do that is to put an asterisk instead of the new character they type (but store the correct value in the string). As for actually reading and writing the file, you'll need to learn how file pointers work. I suggest using fwrite and fread.
