How to put Bootstrap ValidationMessageFor in correct position?

I am using bootstrap for my web application, and I have problem with validationmessagefor puting message state in correct position. Now I have use this example from this link, with this code:

<div class="control-group error">
  <label class="control-label" for="inputError">Input with error</label>
  <div class="controls">
    <input type="text" id="inputError">
    <span class="help-inline">Please correct the error</span>
  </div>
</div>

Now code that I use:

<h4 class="form-signin-heading">Please sign in</h4>
<div class="control-group">
    <div class="controls">                 
        @Html.TextBoxFor(u => u.Username, new {placeholder="Username", @class="form-control username", id="inputError"}) 
        <span class="help-inner">@Html.ValidationMessageFor(u => u.Username)</span>                        
    </div>

    <div class="controls">       
        @Html.PasswordFor(u => u.Password, new {placeholder="Password", @class="form-control password"}) 
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(u=> u.Password)
    </div>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Sign in</button>
