I'm assuming the "password" field is for a password to join the actual
server.  So when you enter a password, it tries to use that password to
join the server and fails (because there is no password required to join
the actual server).  So I believe the bug as reported is not really a
bug.  Apparently, there is no NickServ password field (bug #1042455)

Title:
  Cannot add IRC account with NickServ password

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  New
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In accounts settings:

  1. Add new IRC account (I tested Freenode), input nick and hit done.

  2. Things seem ok, it connects in Empathy (even though the Empathy
     connection button in accounts dialog isn't enabled yet, which is surprising.)

  3. I have a registered nick at Freenode, so I need to provide password
     for NickServ at login. Hit "edit options" in accounts dialog and input
     a password, then hit done.

  4. Now the access trouble starts (and Empathy disconnects).

  See attached screencast which demonstrates the problem.
