I just tried this on a login page, and "@browser.text_field(:id, / pwd/).value" gave me the correct/expected text. It appears that you are setting your password field id descriptor with a variable(?), is it possible you're accessing the wrong element?
Make sure to try $ie.text_field(:name, "WpaPswdConfirm").value first, to ensure that the basic functionality is working before your introduce complication.
