I'm not sure what you mean by Shadow password, but if you want to get a password from a user in a shell script and hide what the user types you can do this:

echo -n "Enter password: "
read -s passwordVariable

The -s parameter to read prevents read from echoing what the user types. So when they enter their password, it will not be shown on-screen...

Hope this helps!
