I don't understand the context, but it seems to be free of errors.

This is not clear -- if you mean what I think you mean, you could say, "John I have almost run out of money in my account" or "John, my bank balance is nearly down to zero." Is that what you mean?

If you are asking John if you can take money ourt of his account, you should be more specific than "could I please have your password for a while?" It sounds like you don't just want his password -- you want his money!

Or maybe I'm totally on the wrong track here. What's the context?? If, for instance, you want his password to use the company photocopy machine, then you could say, "John, I'm almost out of credit. Could I use your password to make some copies?"

Hi Khoff,
I was talking about internet account. My balance was nearly down to zero and in order to avoid any inconvenience I wanted to have John's password just in case. I had his username already. Is it clear now?
