Populate textbox with textmode=password

I'm trying to populate a password style text box from information in a database. It will populate when I change it to a singleline text (or normal) but it will not with a password style. I would like it to populate with the ******* but be able to have the actual data in the background so I can submit it to a database.

ThanksWrite a code behind for this for text change event to change to * from test..

Nor text box has a property of password...

It's be design.. but there is a way around it.. instead of changing the Text property, you can do this:

myTextBox.Attributes["value"] = "somethingfromthedatabase";
