Security Agent problem

Question

I am trying to run the Microsoft AutoUpdate software, but I cant seem to get past this last final part.
tell application "Microsoft AutoUpdate"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AutoUpdate"
tell window "Microsoft AutoUpdate"
click button "Check for Updates"
end tell
end tell
end tell
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AutoUpdate"
tell window "Microsoft AutoUpdate"
tell sheet "Updates Found"
click button "Install"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
delay 1
set myusername to "username"
set mypassword to "password"
tell application "Finder"
frontmost
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "SecurityAgent"
keystroke myusername
keystroke tab
keystroke mypassword
delay 5
end tell
end tell
For some reason it doesnt take all of the password for the variable mypassword. At first I thought it might be some of the strange characters in the password, but even that shouldnt have been a problem. So I exchanged the variables, and it wrote out the password in Name field. So it's not the variable, its something strange about the Password field in Security Agent that seems to only want to take part of the password.
Also I cant seem to get the click button "Ok" or keystroke return, to get me past the SecurityAgend dialog box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Hi Mac Is Life
From what I could see the problem was using keystroke tab instead of using keystroke return for the password area, the alterd script works fine for me here.
<pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">keystroke "user name"
--keystroke tab
keystroke return</pre>

--tell process "SecurityAgent"
keystroke "user name"
--keystroke tab
keystroke return
delay 0.5
keystroke "password"
delay 0.5
keystroke return
end tell
--end tell</pre>
