By design (for security reasons) the value of the password textbox can
not be set from the server-side.
This includes postback situations.

Nope, it's a client issue, not server :)

??? Of course it can!

txtPassword.Attributes.Add("value", txtPassword.Text);
 
This is not correct. I'm doing that setting the password field on the server
side for the Debug Mode to avoid entering these strings each time when I
start the app to debug it.

But the problem is when it requires a postback it loses the value, that's
different, and I switch this text box mode to the regular mode before I do
that so that the client never notices it.

Just D.

No need to to that...

txtPassword.Attributes.Add("value", txtPassword.Text);
 
Seeing the responses over here.. i was really convinced this was a browser
issue.
In MSIE it seems the file upload control can not be preset.
Afaik the textbox with password setting either.
Seems i was wrong (not tested though)
