The irc.js didn't support a password "override" (e.g. via command-line), i.e. it always sent to current user's password via the IRC "PASS" message upon connecting to a server. I just committed a change to allow the sysop to override the password sent via the '-p' command-line option to irc.js. Please let me know how that works for you.
