Parsing an element by class name on data method in jsoup

So I have this project where I have to log in to a site and extract some data using Java.
I am using jsoup and I found all the required inputs for the site apart from one.
One input (element) that I need to fill in has no name or id, just a class name named like btn btn-primary btn login with value Logga in.
More specifically :
<input type="SUBMIT" class="btn btn-primary btn-login" value="Logga in">
Does anyone have an idea how to parse it to the data field and create the cookie I need so I can get an active connection to all the other sub URLs I am using?
java html jsoup

From what I remember<input type="SUBMIT" ..>simply renders button for user to click, so form could be send to server. Itsvalueshould represent only button's label and shouldn't be part of data processed by server. What makes you think that it is that input which you need to "fill"?

@Pshemo i tried that 2 days ago because it had a name and i managed to log in, but when i tried to update a set i am keeping i didnt manage to log in, then i checked the developer tab on google chrome and the input did not have a name. I am guessing they changed it for some reason(maybe think i was trying to hack the site?).
