This sounds like a by-design security feature. "Remember me" is a matter for setting a cookie, not for rendering a password in plain text in the HTML being delivered to the client. Never "show" a password.

Edit: In fact, you shouldn't even have the actual password to render. If you're storing passwords in plain text, please do the world a favor and stop it. One-way hashing is the only way to go for storing passwords.

You can set the password value by setting its value attribute:

txtpwd.Attributes["value"] = "password";

You can't pre-populate a into a password field... and for good reason!

You should either remember that they chose to "Remember Me" and log them in automatically or leave remembering credentials to the browser!
