No efforts aimed at putting the right characters into the file are going to work. The program reading the password is NOT reading STDIN. It is either doing BIOS calls (which I assume are emulated in windows), or it is reading from the CON: device. From: Don Kuhlman [mailto:drkuhl...@yahoo.com]

I'm going to guess that the application is reading the password from the console device instead of STDIN. I don't think there is an easy way around that from a batch file. There may be some third-party utilities that can stuff keystrokes into the console buffer. I'd have a look at AutoIt.
