It's no different from any other textbox so you must be something non-standard you're not saying such as using javascript\ajax etc to do your server communications rather than using a form submit.

As F-ES said, there's nothing special about it so you must be doing something different. Post the relevant code.

If won't ever return null, perhaps empty string, but not null.

Best guess? You don't check in your Page Load event handler to see if it's a post back or not, and clear the password field.

Since you get a page load every time the user clicks a button, and it occurs before the button click event the field will always be blank.
Try:

C#

private void Page_Load()
    {
    if (!IsPostBack)
        {
        // fill in your page info
        ...
        }
    }

Solution 2

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.IsPostBack)
    {
        txtPassword.Attributes["value"] = txtPassword.Text;
    }
}
