password problem with rsync

[Payal Rathod]

Hi,
I want to use rsync from a script. Before that I am trying it from
command line. I use it as,
$ rsync --password-file=pass -e ssh -av legal.txt accounts at 127.0.0.1:/home/accounts
accounts at 127.0.0.1's password:

I don't want to be prompted for password.

$ ls -l pass
-rwx------    1 payal    payal          9 Sep 30 19:11 pass*

$ cat pass
accpass123

[Don't worry it is not on real IP].

What is wrong?
With warm regards,
-Payal
