                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <asp:Button ID="HomePageButton" runat="server" Text="Continue" CausesValidation="true" 
                                    onclick="HomePageButton_Click" />
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </SuccessTemplate>
</asp:ChangePassword>
</asp:Content>

The codebehind is

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class ChangePassword : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //TextBox password = (TextBox)ChangePassword1.FindControl("CurrentPassword");
    //Label passwordLabel = (Label)ChangePassword1.FindControl("CurrentPasswordLabel");
    TextBox password = ChangePassword1.FindControl("CurrentPassword") as TextBox;
    Label passwordLabel = ChangePassword1.FindControl("CurrentPasswordLabel") as Label;
    //TextBox CurrentPassword = ChangePassword1.FindControl("CurrentPassword") as TextBox;
    if (Request.QueryString["p"] != null)
    {
        passwordLabel.Visible = false;
        password.TextMode = TextBoxMode.SingleLine;
        password.Visible = false;
        password.Text = Request.QueryString["p"];
    }
}
protected void ChangePassword1_ChangedPassword(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
protected void HomePageButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Link.ToHomePage();
    Response.Redirect("HomePage.aspx");
}

}

The problem I am having is I get a object reference not set to an instance of an object on passwordLabel and password. Does anyone know how to get these into scope so that I can edit there text and visibility properties in the codebehind?

    Try using:

      TextBox password = ChangePassword1.Controls[0].FindControl("CurrentPassword") as TextBox;
      Label passwordLabel = ChangePassword1.Controls[0].FindControl("CurrentPasswordLabel") as Label;
