Well, It's a bit hard to do this, in the middle of a password prompt.
It tries to read in M-: (whatever control char that generates) as my
password.
I did try to do a C-g (a second time, after I got a "Non echoed text" 
prompt) and I noticed this phenomenon:
The shell seems to chop off the last 2 characters of my input.

Thus, "your-pw\r\n" would work best, as the \r and \n will get chopped 
out. In other words, this seems to work, but not for the reasons you 
expected.
