How do i end the for loop once i press enter.. It's a log-in password so once i press enter it should proceed to the next step but it doesn't.

please help

for(int index = 0; index < limit; index++){
        pass[index] = getche();
        Sleep(50);
        cout << "\b*";
        if(pass[index] == '\n') // this does not work for me
            break;
    }
