Answer 1

So the password is passed to a field named "tempID"? That's odd. The next step might be to make sure your code is grabbing the right form.
You're doing this:
WebForm loginForm = response.getForms()[0];Are you sure that is returning the one you think it is? You should do some debugging (using a real debugger to step thru the code and examine things, or use a "poor man's debugger" by simply adding some System.out.println statements in there to let it show you what form the code actually retrieved).
