attributes not working for model ASP.NET MVC 5

I have This Model in my web application:

    namespace BoardMeeting.Models
{
    public class ChangePassModel
    {
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "password must be entered")]
        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        public string Password { get; set; }

        public string Username { get; set; }

        [Required(ErrorMessage = "you must enter the new password")]
        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        public string NewPass { set; get; }

        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        [Compare("NewPass", ErrorMessage = "The Passwords Do not match")]
        public string ConfimedPass { set; get; }
    }
}

And Here is my View:

@model BoardMeeting.Models.ChangePassModel

@{

    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{

    <div class="form-group ">
        <div class="row" dir="rtl">
            <div>
                @Html.Label("username :", new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
            </div>
            <div>
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Username, new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
            </div>
            <div>
                @Html.Label("user :", new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
            </div>
            <div>
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Username, new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2  pull-right", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
            </div>
        </div>

    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="row" dir="rtl">
            <div>
                @Html.Label("old password", new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
            </div>
            <div>
                @Html.TextBoxFor(m=>m.Password, new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right form-control", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })              
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="row" dir="rtl">
            <div>
                @Html.Label("new password", new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
            </div>
            <div>
                @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.NewPass, new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right form-control", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="row" dir="rtl" style="align-content:center">
            <div>
                @Html.Label("confirm new password", new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
            </div>
            <div>
                @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.ConfimedPass, new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right form-control", style = "margin-top:5px;",type="password" })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
            <input type="submit" value="submit" class="btn btn-success pull-right" />
        </div>
    </div>
}

The Problem is none of the Attributes of The Model are working.I have Checked the following Options: 1-I have this values in my web.config file under the appsettings:

<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />

2-I have checked the ModelState.IsValid in my controller. It is strange that i have a similar code for my login and it has no problem. And I should say That I am new to ASP.NET MVC and I don't Know If There is Anything else i should do. Do You have Any Suggestions for this problem?

Ok there are a few things wrong here.

You are using an overload which will set your error message to be a blank string.

Notice the second parameter below.

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

Simply replace the blank string with a null and it will pull it from the attributes instead:

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password, null, new { @class = "text-danger" })

Also you have copied and pasted the same code per property underneath but kept the Password as the first parameter:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.NewPass, new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right form-control", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

You will need to change them to match the controls above and also replace the blank string:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.NewPass, new { @class = "col-xs-12 col-md-2 col-sm-3 col-lg-2 pull-right form-control", style = "margin-top:5px;" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.NewPass, null, new { @class = "text-danger" })

This will need to be done for all of the properties within your view.
