Comparing a Password Text Box to a String

Imports System.IO

        Dim a, d, b As Integer

        a = Len(pass) ' Obter tamanho da Password
        Dim holder(a) As Char
        For d = a - 1 To 0 Step -1
            b = AscW(pass(d)) 'Converter caracter na posição d para valor numerico
            b = b - d ' Retirar Valor de d a caracter
            holder(d) = ChrW(b) ' Converter para caracter novamente
        Next

        For d = 0 To a
            pass_desincriptada2 = pass_desincriptada2 + holder(d) ' Passar Caracteres Para uma String
        Next
        desincriptar = pass_desincriptada2
        Return desincriptar 'Returnar Password
    End Function

End Class

ElseIf PasswordTextBox.Text <> pass_desincriptada Then
            MsgBox("Erro, Password Errada!", MsgBoxStyle.Critical + MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Erro")
            PasswordTextBox.Focus()
            erro = True

This line here is allways returning true. I've tried a bunch of different solutions, like if it's numeric comparison, i do this

Cint(pass_desincriptada)

, a second validation for chars and it works out fine. Problem is if the password contains ints and chars.
To solve this i tried:
Comparing Passwordtextbox.text to another textbox, but if the text box as the the propertie visible = false it doesn't work.
If i do this:

dim something as textbox
something = pass_desincriptada
something.visible = true
if passwordtextbox.text <> something.text

That also doesn't work.
And the most odd thing about all this, is that the passwordtextbox is getting is value from pass_desincriptada.

Can someone help me out with my code, or tell me what im doing wrong?

Thanks, NtheN

Found the asnwer. The len of passwordtextbox.text didin't match the len of pass_desincriptar.
