A PlayBook password is required even if the PlayBook simulator does not have a password (and password is disabled). Recently, I uninstalled VMWare, the WebWorks Tablet SDK, and Ripple, and reinstalled all the tools. When I set up the BlackBerry PlayBook Simulator, I set no password, and password functionality was disabled. I could deploy an app to the simulator via command-line without specifying a password. However, if I select “Package & Launch” in Ripple and specify only the IP address, it won’t let me proceed without entering a password for the PlayBook. I entered “playbook” and then it successfully packaged and launched the app on Ripple.

It appears that a change is needed in Build and Deploy to support this, and certainly a corresponding change in the Ripple UI will then be needed to use it.
