I think that even though jPassword extends JTextField it seems that the methods
setText have been deprecated or I don't know how to access them.

Rob,

Bizarre. I've used the setText() method several times on a JPasswordField
in a project I'm currently working on and it works fine. What JDK / JRE version
are you using? What does your API doco say about the setText() method? What
compilation / runtime error are you receiving?

Regards,
Kent
