Selenium.Unable to enter username and password for a website

I have two input fields username and password. I am unable to locate and enter the inputs using selenium. Login button click also fails.

Please find the HTML 

    <div id="loginTable">
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" name="loginForm" method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/login">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
  <td>User name:</td><td colspan="2"><input name="LOGIN"></td></tr><tr>
  <td>Password:</td><td colspan="2"><input name="PWD" type="password"></td></tr><tr>
<td colspan="2"><button type="submit">Login</button></td></tr></tbody></table></form></div>

i have used below code lines,

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//[@id=\"loginTable\"]/form/table/tr[1]/td[2]/input")).sendKeys("test"); driver.findElement(By.name("LOGIN")).sendKeys("test");

WebElement userEntry=wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.name("LOGIN"))); userEntry.sendKeys("Test");

None of them are working.

Login button also not working. Please help me.

The issue is your locator. You need something to identify the type of element you're looking for at the start (e.g. "//div[@id...." or "//*[@id...." if you want it as a wildcard) However you can simplify your locator to:

//input[@name='LOGIN']

Compound locators like the one you've attempted to use can be very brittle, as there are more elements from your code that could potentially change.
