To repeat -- you CANNOT show a password in a textbox via code-behind.
ASP.NET won't let you. You could potentially do some javascript
hacks, but this will put the password in your page source in plain
text. It is better to work around this by NOT putting the password
in a text box, but by storing it in a session variable or viewstate
and using it in your code-behind as needed.
