Need help securing an object.

I have a password field in my DB that auto generates a password. I would like to be able to generate a new password, but not to be able to view the current. Is this possible and how would one go about doing this?

Since you know how to generate a new password, I shan't cover that. By the looks you need to knwo how to disguise the eixsting password yes?

There is a field input mask from text objects that you can set to be 'Password' - all you see are asterix..

Once you've set this text box field up, set its source to be the old password.. et voila, non?

Currently that is how it's setup. I should have been clearer on what I was looking to do. Here's a better description: As of right now, when a pass is generated, it is stored and is viewable. It is password locked, you double click on the field and enter a password and you can then view the persons current password. I want to make it so that it will generate a password and then lock. If the person forgets the pass I have given them a new one must be generated.
