How to click button in dialog box using PyWinAuto

I have an batch file that I execute that opens a program. A dialog box then appears which I type into it the username and password credentials

The I print the control identifiers and it lists;

SunAwtDialog - 'Login'    (L528, T242, R853, B501)
['SunAwtDialog', 'LoginSunAwtDialog', 'Login']
child_window(title="Login", class_name="SunAwtDialog")

So after reading this post. My understanding was to use window + the button and a click method like so;

dlp.SunAwtDialog['Login'].click()

But this keeps throwing an ElementNotFoundError; 

ElementNotFoundError: {'best_match': 'SunAwtDialog', 'top_level_only': False, 'parent': <win32_element_info.HwndElementInfo - 'Login', SunAwtDialog, 2164976>, 'backend': 'win32'}

Below is the full snippet of code;

from pywinauto import application
import time
app = application.Application()
app.start(r"C:\\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", wait_for_idle=False)
dlg = app.top_window()
dlg.type_keys('D:{ENTER}')
dlg.type_keys('cd{SPACE}Software\\client{ENTER}')
dlg.type_keys('run_client.bat{ENTER}')
time.sleep(10)
new_app = application.Application().connect(title="iManager")
dlp = new_app.top_window()
#type username + password
dlp.type_keys('user')
dlp.type_keys('{TAB}')
dlp.type_keys('pass')
#print control identifiers
dlp.print_control_identifiers()
#click login[![enter image description here][1]][1]
dlp.SunAwtDialog['Login'].click()

You can see on the image below the "Login" button I want to be able to click. There is also another button next to the "Server" option, but it is not in my control identifiers

The good solution for this is pressing the "Enter" if there is only an "OK" button on that Dialog/Message/Alert/Information box. For this you can use:

send_keys("{ENTER}")

If that doesn't work correctly, you can use the sleep command to wait for 1-2 seconds and then press enter, like so:

time.sleep(2)
send_keys("{Enter}")

For this, you have to import two libraries:

from pywinauto.keyboard import send_keys
import time

A solution that I use for this is using send_keys. Try this:

from pywinauto.keyboard import send_keys
send_keys("{VK_MENU down}" "l" "{VK_MENU up}")
