Option explicit
Dim oShell
set oShell= Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "RunAs /noprofile /user:domain\administrator ""c:\path\to\prog.exe""",2 "use the ,2 to minimize the DOS box that will run your program"
WScript.Sleep 500
oShell.Sendkeys "PASSWORD~" "remember to keep the ~ as this sends an enter after your password"
Wscript.Quit
