try setting the value:

echo $form->input('User.username', array('value'=>$user));
echo $form->input('User.password', array('value'=>$pass));

TBH unless you are using javascript to automatically submit this form, you
would be better off having a controller action that reads in the username
and password and then redirects to the login action.
