Try XPath

//form[@class="formclass"]/input[@type="text"]
//form[@class="formclass"]/input[@type="password"]

or CSS selector

form.formclass input[type="text"]
form.formclass input[type="password"]

what if we dont know about name of the form class? how can we get nearest identifier of an element(like id or name or class or xpath) to the element(input fields with no identifiers)?

Please try the following

xpath:

(//form[@class='formclass]//input)[0] 
(//form[@class='formclass]//input)[1]

css:

.formclass input[type='text']
.formclass input[type='password']
