An apparatus for converting a password in a terminal comprises a memory part(120), a conversion factor confirmation part(150), a dynamic password creation part(170), and a password confirmation part(160). The memory part(120) stores a fixed password and conversion factor information. The conversion factor confirmation part confirms the information of a conversion factor and the location of the conversion factor. The dynamic password creation part combines the fixed password with the confirmed conversion factor information in accordance with the confirmed conversion factor location and creates a dynamic password. The password confirmation part checks whether the created password is matched with an inputted password.
