Answer 1

If I understand you. You can try these commands if you have trusted remote hosts and users.

C:\> telnet -l user_name

and provide the password

OR you can do something like Unix

C:\> echo command | telnet -l user_name

Also for other details on telnet refer this link.

Answer 2

use ssh instead of telnet and make use of public/private keys for authentication. then use putty with command-line-arguments to login without a password.
