You can use JavaScript as well  in case the textfield is dithered   WebDriver driver new FirefoxDriver    driver get  http   localhost login do    driver manage   window   maximize    RemoteWebDriver r  RemoteWebDriver  driver  String s1  document getElementById  username   value  admin    r executeScript s1

This is simple if you only use Selenium WebDriver  and forget the usage of Selenium-RC  I d go like this    WebDriver driver   new FirefoxDriver    WebElement email   driver findElement By id  email     email sendKeys  your email here      The reason for NullPointerException however is that your variable driver has never been started  you start FirefoxDriver in a variable wb thas is never being used

You should replace WebDriver wb   new FirefoxDriver    with driver   new FirefoxDriver    in your  Before Annotation    As you are accessing driver object with null or you can make wb reference variable as global variable
