Dona,

What version of JAWS and what browser are you using? Also, what is the markup of the text box that holds the password?

I have witnessed such a thing in the past. Ensure that there isn't a hidden JavaScript or attribute that is making JAWS announce the letters. Some developers do that to eliminate the use of "show Password" button.
