Solution 1

Best guess solution, try this:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["password"])
          txtPassword.Text = Request.QueryString["password"];
}

That will work assuming your URL looks something like this:

http://www.mysite.com/MyPage.aspx?password=bob

Just a thought, passing though a password in a query string makes is visible for the whole world to see. It might be a better idea to store it in the session. Have a read here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178581.aspx[^]

I am passing password in Encrypted form.
so my URL looks like....http://www.mysite.com/MyPage.aspx?gjkaksh76572hgk.

And Decrypt on other page.I have successfully decrypted the password,But on UI it is showing the password textbox blank.

Is there any other way to set the TextBox text.when the TextMode is "Password".

i am bugged off by this problem.
Please help me out

How are you accessing the query string...it should look like this http://www.mysite.com/MyPage.aspx?password=gjkaksh76572hgk ... That way you can use my solution.
