You can either set it through the textbox properties by selecting "PasswordChar" and type in * or whatever character you would like, or you can do it through code as in -

Text1.PasswordChar = "*"

It's simple.
Click on the Text box where you type the Password. Under Properties You'll find Password Char. There you may type whatever the letter/symbol you like to assign for that Text Box.

Run the Prj. and type inside the Text Box and seeeeeee.
But, make sure to limit the Character length at Maximum Length under Properties.
