How to get control to selenium web driver browser window

Question

I am developing the automation scripts for a web site using java selenium web driver.

But that web site is requesting for "Authentication required" (window) for two times.

I handled the first "Authentication required" window using modifying the URL like below

http://username:password@thaturl.com

But to handle second "Windows authentication", I dependent on multi processing.

I have done the following for handling second "Authentication required" window

Whenever the browser got stucks at "Authentication required" window, then I will be 
starting a small http server and opening a url, that opened url will type the username 
and password in the "Authentication required" window ( i.e. I am triggering another 
process through a url by creating handler for that url which will copy username and 
password in the "Authentication Required" window)

But my problem is that the web driver window is not getting on top of all other windows, so I am not able to copy username and password at exact place using robot object.

Thanks in advance

Why are you using a robot? There's no way to reference the user/pass fields? For example, maybe this is a flash or java applet or something which selenium has really no support for. — MxLDevs, Dec 10 '13 at 18:01
for doing "ctrl v" which will copy username and password in to the boxes — user2753523, Dec 10 '13 at 18:03

You can use AutoIT to automate window dialogs and for your scenario, you can actually bring a particular window into focus as well.

Here is one reference, but there are lot of posts available on this topic.
