Use the IE9's built-in F12 Developer Tools to examine the CSS styling rules 
that are being applied to your password element.  Keep in mind that when you 
see a watermark being displayed there, you are no longer looking at a 
password-type element, your are looking at a text-type element, so be sure you 
have not accidentally styled text-type elements with the bold text.

You should be defining a class name for the watermark, and overriding any 
undesired styles using that class name in your style sheet.
