Hi Luigi,
I suspect you cannot connect your iphone to windows laptop because of
the firewall on your windows laptop. Try disabling the windows firewall
and see if you can connect after that.
For passwords, both the AP password and the network (ad-hoc) password
should have been set during the quickstart wizard. You can check the AP
password in /etc/commotion/profiles.d/quickstartSec and the ad-hoc
password in /etc/commotion/profiles.d/quickstartMesh. You should only
need the AP password when connecting with the iphone or laptop.
I don't have experience with WDS, so I'm sorry I can't help you there.
This might help: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clientmode
What do you want to test regarding ad-hoc? The routers should be able
to talk to each other over ad-hoc, so you can try pinging one from the
other, using their 5.X.X.X IP addresses.
Hope this helps.
