This works only on freenode and similarly stupid IRC servers which chain the server password to NickServ. The password field on an IRC account is for the server password--i.e. a password which must be supplied in order to connect to the server. Nick passwords are provided by services, which are not part of the IRC specification. Authentication with services is covered in the FAQ at http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#IsthereawaytomakePidginautomaticallyidentifymeonlogin (and the question following that one covers authentication using only the features built into Pidgin).
