In short, you can't. The only way your program will work is if the user
puts the password into the program to use it.
I cannot see what kind of program you are writing that would need to get a
users password without them giving it to your program unless it's some type
of malicious software.

If your writing a legit program then just have the user grant the password
to your program and be responsible by encrypting it in the file you will
keep it in.
