Gamename,

Try
(make-local-variable 'comint-password-prompt-regexp)
(setq comint-password-prompt-regexp [?^ 0 ?$])

This makes the password-prompt string local to the current buffer
(the shell), and then sets it to a single Ctrl-@ (ASCII 0) on a line,
hopefully that sequence will never appear.

HTH,
