This sounds like a timing issue, there is probably already some JS running after your script is ran.
Try wrapping your JS in $(window).load(), this will run the function after other page assets have loaded and should fix the timing issue.
For example…
$(window).load(function() {
document.getElementById('user_pass').focus();
});
Here is some info about the difference between $(document).ready() vs $(window).load().
