Retemplate passwordbox

Question

I'm working on Windows Phone 8 C#/XAML .NET 4.5 Application and I've been trying to retemplate/style a PasswordBox, but even though I have general idea how to do it, I can't finish it to my needs.

PROBLEM

The first thing I need to find is proper PasswordBox template for Windows Phone 8. I've found this one[msdn], but it does not work and I don't know how to change it so it would.

QUESTION

• Is this template the right one? How to change it so it would "stick"?

Where you getting failed? What errors you are getting while working on it.

The following is the Windows Phone 8 PasswordBox style . I created using Expression Blend.

<Style x:Key="PasswordBoxStyle" TargetType="PasswordBox">
        <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"/>
        <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMediumLarge}"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource PhoneTextBoxBrush}"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneTextBoxForegroundBrush}"/>
        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource PhoneTextBoxBrush}"/>
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBorderThickness}"/>
        <Setter Property="SelectionBackground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
        <Setter Property="SelectionForeground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneContrastBackgroundBrush}"/>
        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="2"/>
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="PasswordBox">
                    <Grid Background="Transparent">
