If the password text file is just one line use read()

   var passwd=f.read();


readline needs to be used from a loop like this:

           while(!f.EOF) {
             var theFileContentsLine = file.readline();
             dump("line: "+theFileContentsLine+"\n");
           }

This sample is posted in the head comment in file.js


Hope this helps
