form.element(_name=='password').insert(INPUT(_name='password2',requires=IS_EXPR('value=
%s' % repr(request.vars.password)) ))
should have been
form.element(_name='password').parent().append(INPUT(_name='password2',requires=IS_EXPR('value=
%s' % repr(request.vars.password)) ))

form.element(_name='password') finds the INPUT(name="password") item

form.element(_name='password').parent() finds the parent of such
element, the TD()

form.element(_name='password').parent().append(...) appends something
to the TD()

INPUT(_name='password2',....) is the appened <input name="password2">
field

This:
   requires=IS_EXPR('value=%s' % repr(request.vars.password))
sets the requirements. i.e. the value of password is the same as the
value of fields request.vars,password
