My guess would be that you need to set e.Cancel = false to ensure that the close isn't canceled. I think I recall reading somewhere that e.Cancel = true is actually the default. You have to specifically tell it that the close shouldn't be canceled. eg.

            if (!ValidText(txtPasskey.Text))
            {
                // Cancel the event and select the text to be corrected by the user.
                objform.CausesValidation = false;
                e.Cancel = true;
                txtPasskey.Select(0, txtPasskey.Text.Length);
                pctBoxLogin2.Visible = true;
            }
            else
                e.Cancel = false;

Try that anyway, see if it works.

First off, this code is pointless:

Form objform = this.FindForm();

You're asking for the Form that contains "this"...which already is the Form!
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.findform(VS.80).aspx

"Retrieves the form that the control is on."

So everywhere you obtain the form using that construct you could simply use "this" directly.

Try this out to allow the form to be closed:

public partial class Admin_Load : Form
    {

        private bool UserClosing = false;

        public Admin_Load()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
        {
            const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
            const int SC_CLOSE = 0xF060;

            if (m.Msg == WM_SYSCOMMAND && (int)m.WParam == SC_CLOSE)
            {
                UserClosing = true;
            }

            base.WndProc(ref m);
        }

        private void txtPasskey_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!UserClosing && !ValidText(txtPasskey.Text))
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
                txtPasskey.SelectAll(); 
                pctBoxLogin2.Visible = true;
            }
        }

        public bool ValidText(string stringvalue)
        {
            if (stringvalue == "pILy^caffs")
            {
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }

    }
