thanks for valuable replay, but i use MVC

           <div class="editor-field">
                @Html.PasswordFor(model => model.Password)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Password)
            </div>

for starters , why would you want to assign a value to password textboxes?

because a user must type in the password even on Edit mode ...

for example ask just ask them for current and new + confirm password

MVC 3

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

public class EditUserModel
    {
        [Required]
        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        [Display(Name = "Current password")]
        public string OldPassword { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        [Display(Name = "New password")]
        public string NewPassword { get; set; }

        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        [Display(Name = "Confirm new password")]
        [Compare("NewPassword", ErrorMessage = "The new password and confirmation password do not match.")]
        public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
    }

Hi rageshS

I would try the following code:
```
@Html.Password("MyPassword", "Pa$$W0rd")
```
The code above is using the HTML helper methods to display a textbox of type "Password" in a cshtml (RazorView) page.

Hope this helps

Hi

What's you meaning of

rageshS
how to assign password textbox with value.

Why you want to assign a value to password textbox?

It is in your edit view, so I think you just need to provide a password textbox let user input the password, you dont need to assgin value to it.
