Hi,
I don't think you can have a event on Back Button Click on the current page, but the previous page will load back. And you cannot disable back button of the browser. But I would suggest that, on click of back button, just ask the use to login again. refer below articles to achieve this:

hope it helps.

the problem is that i have used TextBoxWatermark ajax control for my controls and their values are not caching in browser so on back click it does not retrieve controls previous values. so TextBoxWatermark may be the reason, any suggestion???

Thing is, we do'nt have control on browser buttons. so, we need to handle such a way that, there should not be harm to application business logic. Try to set the watermark on load or check which event can be used, client side or server side.
