Hi PHil,

In addition to Marcy & Stuart's suggestion of pressing the Enter key, also 
known as the Return key, you also have the option to stop interacting with the 
UserName / Password section of that particular dialog box by pressing 
VO+Shift+Up Arrow. This will allow you to navigate the rest of that dialog box 
using standard VO commands . It's sort of like taking the long way 'round, but 
as a new VO User I think you might find it helpful to try it once as it might 
give you a better feel for the full layout of that particular authentication 
dialog box, as it is one you will encounter frequently. After you stop 
interacting, press VO+left or Right Arrow keys and you'll find the "cancel" and 
"unlock" buttons," a brief text description explaining the purpose of the 
dialog box, and an element labeled "Scroll area." The scroll area is actually 
the section that contains the User Name and Password fields, and you can 
interact with it again by pressing VO+Shift+Down Arrow.

HTH,
Bryan
