Validate a password

**Question:**
Write a function called `validate_password` that takes a string as input and returns `True` if the input string is a valid password, and `False` otherwise. A valid password must satisfy the following criteria:
- At least 8 characters long
- Contains at least one uppercase letter
- Contains at least one lowercase letter
- Contains at least one digit
- Contains at least one special character from the set: !@#$%^&*

Use regular expressions (regex) to validate the password.

**Example:**
Input: "Passw0rd!"
Output: True
import re

def validate_password(password):
    """
    Validates a password based on certain criteria using regex.

    Args:
        password (str): The input password.

    Returns:
        bool: True if the password is valid, False otherwise.
    """
    # TODO: Implement the validate_password function
    pass
