If the user is navigating to the login page it seems reasonable to put them in the user id field.
For error messages you can use the wai forms tutorial info. http://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/

Hi Everyone,
We are implementing an updated single sign on login page. There were too major issues that arose, one around form autofocus. Basically, when a person navigates to the login page, the screen reader begins reading the page at the User ID field as it's set to autofocus. This means that the screen reader skips a few things - the page name and header, a ticker that alerts people of any expected and unexpected downtime, and also, if they enter their username or password wrong, when the page refreshes, the error is above the User ID field, so it isn't read. Has anyone encountered this issue before? What is the recommended standard and potential solutions?
Thanks!
