How to center a form using Bootstrap?

I want to focus a form containing two inputs (username and password):

<h2 align="center" >Authentication</h2>
<form method="post" action="/signin"  class="form-horizontal" role="form" align="center">
    <div class="form-group" align="center">
        <label class="control-label col-sm-2"  for="username">username<em>*</em></label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <input type="text" name="username" id="username" placeholder="username" required="true" class="form-control"/>
        </div>
    </div>  
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="password">password<em>*</em></label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">            
            <input type="password" name="password" id="password" required="true" class="form-control"/> 
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group"> 
        <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-8">  
            <input type="submit" name="signin" id="signin" value="sign in" class="btn btn-default"/>
         </div>
     </div>     
</form>

but when I start the page, the form is not in the center of the page. I added in style.css:

.form-horizontal{
    display:block;
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right:auto;
}

but it didn’t work.

Slim Hmidi Hi, you were close to your class .form-horizontal.

Using this will be the center form in the middle of the page.

.center {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  margin: auto;  
}

Now you will need to adjust col-sm-xxin the form to fill and work correctly with all screen sizes.

Here is a screenshot, the blue div that has the shape is centered horizontally.
