You can try this:

<Grid>
 <Grid.Background>
    <ImageBrush ImageSource="MyImage.jpg" />
 </Grid.Background>
 <TextBlock Text="Forget Password" />
</Grid>

You can use a border control to contain the TextBlock:-

<Border Background="{StaticResource KeyToDesiredBackgroundBrush}">
   <TextBlock Text="Forget Password" Height="19" Width="156" />
</Border>

The TextBlock element cannot display a background image. You can display an image behind your TextBlock as follows:

<Grid>
    <Image Source="..."/>
    <TextBlock Text="Forget Password" Height="19" Width="156">
</Grid>

You might have to apply a suitable Margin or padding to your image for this to work.

If you want to add images to a number of TextBlocks, you might want to consider re-templating yor TextBlock via a Style.
