WebDriver - how to get a page already open without modification

I need to enter a protected website. Security requires a username and password, but with graphical components of Windows (no web code, like upload a file for example).

To skip this step, I coded a small Awt.Robot, which find and valid the 'pop-up' windows.

So I am with a web page open in the expected state.

How can I regain control, from this state, with WebDriver?

some kind of :

​​driver FirefoxDriver = new FireFoxDriver(); driver.get (page already open without modification and authentification);

Ideas?
