If your input field is tabindex 1 and your button tabindex 2, then when finished entering text, a tab should bring the button into focus.

You can use some javascript to automatically get your input field into focus after loading the page:

code
<body bgcolor=<%=strAdminBGColor%> onLoad="self.focus();document.login.username.focus ()">

<form action="loginHandler.asp" method="post" name="login">
<table>
<tr class="NormalText">
<td >Username: </td>
<td><input class="NormalText" type=text name='username' >
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="NormalText">
<td>Password: </td>
<td><input class="NormalText" type=password name='password'>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type=submit Value='Log In'>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

the onload script set the focus to the document element login and in particular to the sub element username. So these need to be defined in the form. See all the red bitties. Sorry for the formatting, but apparently color coding deosn't work within a 'code' tag.
