Try this. We go in a loop for a maximum of 5 seconds, polling every 500 ms until the apply method returns true.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,5).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {    
   public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
      WebElement inputElement= driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input#txtRegPassword"));

      if(inputElement.getAttribute("oldtitle") == null) 
         return false;
      } else {
         return true;
      }
   });
