I have it working like this:
password = 'abc123'
b.text_field(:name, "mock_password").set password
If that doesn't work, you might want to just test to see if watir can even
see that element.
if b.text_field(:name, "mock_password").exists?
puts "Password field exists"
else
puts "Password field missing"
end
