cout << "Password: ";
encrypt = _getch();
   while(encrypt != 13)

   { 
	   Password.push_back(encrypt);
	  cout << '*';
      encrypt = _getch();

getch returns a char (or two) for any key that is pressed, including non-printable and function keys. It does not, however, return the escape sequence that you are expecting. You could use something like:

if(encrypt == /*backspace*/)
    cout << "\b \b";
