I have a form that uses password_confirm but I can't get the form to accept any values successfully. The password_confirm converts the single field "pass" to two password fields "pass1" and "pass2"

If I use $edit['pass'], Simpletest says there's no such field; if I use $edit['pass1'] and $edit['pass2'] it says they don't exist; if I use $edit['pass'] = array('pass1' => 'xxxxxxx', 'pass2' => 'xxxxxxx') it says "pass" must be a string.

How do I get around this?

You have to look at the HTML of the form and get the value in the 'name' property of the input field. In this case it is "pass[pass1]" and "pass[pass2]".

I tried $edit['pass'] = array('pass1' => 'xxxxxxx', 'pass2' => 'xxxxxxx') and got "pass must be a string".

What would you suggest?

That's not at all what I said. You have to use the literal name of the input fields separately in $edit.

$edit['pass[pass1]'] = 'xxxxx';
$edit['pass[pass2]'] = 'xxxxx';
