Have a look at the "net use" syntax at the following page.  It describes 
how to specify a password:

The "net logon" command is supposed to also have support for specifying 
a different username to log in with as well, but the above link doesn't 
seem to mention that option or its syntax, so I'm providing another link 
which does (' /user:...'):
