Password program for work any takers

I need a program written in assembler for a password program the program should prompt the user to enter a password and the password should be stored in memory

a valid password is made up at least 6 and a maximum of 12 characters
the first character must be an alphabetic character
and the remaining charcters must be alpanumeric

and if an invalid character is discoverd an appropriete error messege be displayed

once the password is enterd a length check should be performed if it is to short an error messege is displayed

Could any one write this proggram as a challenge to yourself it for my spare computer to personalise it cheers

  • I used TASM in making this program..i admit it's quite messy and not well-commented, but i'm willing to give you help on anything you don't understand..i haven't tested it for all cases so plz tell me if there's any unhandled case...there's the code:
    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    data segment
    prompt db 'please enter a password:',13,10,'$'
    invchar db 'error: invalid char',13,10,'$'
    pshort db 'error: password is shorter than 6 chars',13,10,'$'
    plong db 'error: password is longer than 12 chars',13,10,'$'
    password db 12 dup (?)
    crlf db 13,10,'$'
    data ends

    code segment
    assume cs:code,ds:data
    start:
    mov ax,data
    mov ds,ax

    mov ah,09
    lea dx,prompt
    int 21h ; display message

    mov si,0
    scanf:
    mov ah,0h
    int 16h
    call check_char
    cmp si,12

    skip:

    je exit
    cmp al,8 ; BACKSPACE key
    jne skip_dec
    dec si
    cmp si,0ffffh
    je skip_dec
    sub si,2 ; since -2 + inc = 1 dec
    skip_dec:
    inc si
    jmp scanf
    exit: ; '0'=48, 'A'=65->'Z'=90=101 1010=5a, 'a'=97=110 0001=61->'z'=122

    code ends
    end start
