Mohammed -

The command you're using to set the password is incorrect.

This -> fv("2", "pass", "password")

Should be -> > fv("1", "pass", "password")

Here's my example session:

---- START SNIP ----

---- END SNIP ----

Obviously in these two lines you'll want to substitute your
credentials instead of "some_login" and "some_password."

>>> fv(1, "login", "some_login")
>>> fv(1, "pass", "some_password")

Hope this helps.
