 public TextBox MyTextBox

>            set { txtMyEntry = value; }
>        }

Then, in the form you can reference it as MyUserControlName.MyTextBox.Text etc. But you might consider only exposing those properties of the TextBox that you want to be accessible in this way - the above may be too flexible

Fred,

You need to use case sensitive password now (see the message in read). If you don't remember it, then the number of combinations is

N! (where N is the password length).

Actually, I'm not sure if the number of combinations = N factorial. What is this number?
