Shell script problem

Hello. I am trying to make this shell script bellow work on my server wich should take the names in newacc.cvs and add them to the system. For each user the script should ask me to enter a password for the user im adding and then add them to the system, however my current solution do not work atm as when i run the script it dont stop to let me enter a password at all at the passwd echo, it just runs past it :/ do someone know how to make this work?

Example from newacc.cvs

maria;jones
andreas;öring

Script
Code:
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$#" == "0" ]
then

cat newacc.cvs | while IFS=';'  read firstname surname;
do

    useradd $firstname -m
    echo  added $firstname to the system
    passwd $firstname
    cd /home/$firstname/
    maildirmake.courier Maildir
    echo Maildir Created for $firstname


done
  exit 0

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
