First thing I'd suspect is that testPassword is returning a 1 (integer)
and pd is set to '1' (string).  Those are not equivalent, of course. :-)

If that's not it, you may want to inspect the pieces of this comparison:

-- Start TespID dump --
pd:             <dtml-var pd>
name:           <dtml-var name>
_['name']:      <dtml-var "_['name'])
testPassword:   <dtml-var "testPassword(name=_['name'])">
-- End TespID dump --

That's crude, but it's a pretty easy way to see what's going wrong.

HTH,
