    Sending password from a script for runAs command

    Hello,

    Currently working on a code to stop and start a windows services with administrator credentials from a java programming language.

    Was researching on runAs command but couldn't pass send password either through piping the command or by reading the password through a file.

    Is there a possibility to send the password for runAs from java programming language.

    Thanks!

    Hi Subrahmanyam

    I am sorry, you can't pipe a password into runas, because it requests the password from the terminal, not from stdin . . .

    There's no equivalent of sudo -s

    runas.exe without password

    runas command won't recognize administrator password


    I tried the runas command to configure some software I just updated, as the directions said, but my administrator password was rejected. Then I tested the runas command on a pdf file that I know for sure is in the current directory (it can open from the command line), but my administrator password is still rejected.

    Settings > Accounts says:

    Seka
    Local Account
    Administrator

    And I'm able to confirm my current password and change it (I change it to the same password). But here's the problem:
    C:\Users\Seka\Desktop>runas /u:administrator Lightworks_v12.5.0_User_Guide.pdf
    Enter the password for administrator:
    Attempting to start Lightworks_v12.5.0_User_Guide.pdf as user "SEKA-PC\administrator" ...
    RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - Lightworks_v12.5.0_User_Guide.pdf
    1326: The user name or password is incorrect.
    C:\Users\Seka\Desktop>

    Any tips? Ways to confirm my password works or that I'm the administrator or anything? It's too late for me to go back to Windows 7.

    EDIT: I was surprised with a log on screen when I turned my computer on this morning. I had to enter my password. It worked though.
