You mean populate your Grid with ContactName based on the password entered from a TextBox?

It seems that you’d like to dynamically insert new row using ASP.Net GridView control, you could refer to this article.

http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Add-record-to-Database-using-ASP.Net-GridView-EmptyDataTemplate-and-FooterTemplate.aspx

And you could specify value for Date and ContactName on btnsubmit click event.

protected void btnsubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Control control = null;

    if (GridView1.FooterRow != null)
    {
        control = GridView1.FooterRow;
    }
    else
    {
        control = GridView1.Controls[0].Controls[0];
    }

    //here you could retrieve Date and ContactName based on the code user provides 
    //populate Date and ContactName column of gridview
    (control.FindControl("txtdate") as TextBox).Text = "date";

    (control.FindControl("txtCName") as TextBox).Text = "ContactName";
}
