According to the ChangeLogs, coexistence between Tramp and ido was
implemented in November 2007. So it cannot work in Emacs 22. Try Emacs
23, which might be released on July 22nd (according to recent
announcements).

Tramp sends passwords only if they are cached. This caching does not
survive an Emacs session.

Could you, please, check it again, starting with "emacs -Q"?
