When you add the fourth parameter, you need to completely specify what 
you want. The default is to have OK and Cancel buttons, so instead of

> result = dialog.textEntryDialog(self, 'Password for user ', 'Password',
> '', wx.TE_PASSWORD)

you should have

> result = dialog.textEntryDialog(self, 'Password for user ', 'Password',

or you could simply use the convenience dialogs, as in
