What you'll want to look into is the style parameter of GUICtrlCreateEdit(). Take a look at the link on that page of the help file for more information.

Do you have the line:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

at the top of your script?

When I started with AutoIt, this had me stumped. AutoIt selects a default set of styles if you leave the styles field blank. If you do however set your own style/s, AutoIt does not automatically include its defaults.

Adding an extra constant should fix your problem:

$wachtWoord = guiCtrlCreateEdit("", 115, 125, 200, 20, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_EDIT + $ES_PASSWORD)
