are you have permission on c drive...

That is because partition "C" has some Security.

You can't read, write to a file without permission.

the file created, but the value not written
That means creation permission is there, but not the write permission.

Can you debug and see what happens after the below line executes?

objWriter.Write(_Pass)

Could it be possible you are trying to write at the root of your C: drive ?
On modern MS OS's, access to the system drive's root is restricted.

May we know the value of your _FilePath at the time you are calling your method ?

PassPath = "C:\Program Files\Sana Computers\SanaPassword.txt"

You should not write to the Program Files directory.
Better write to Prgram Data if you want to avoid this type of issue.
