That Would Be Bad.
Letting a script get at the user's login password would be a major
security hole, which we would plug as soon as it was discovered.
Almost anything you want to do that requires the user's password can
either use the Keychain, or bring up a dialog then and there to get it,
but there are few if any circumstances where a script should be able to
get the user's password either manually or automatically.
