echo Pa$$W0Rd | some_command_expects_it

Answer 2

You can't pipe a password into runas, as it requests the password from the terminal, not from stdin. There's no equivalent of "sudo -s".

Answer 3

Try this

runtime.getruntime().exec("cmd /C echo YOUR_PASS | runas /user:Admin \"C:\Program Files\test.bat\"");
