The Windows implementation of echo is fairly broken and treats quotes literally. If the password doesn't contain any special characters (such as &, ^, etc.), then you should be able to remove the quotes from the below and make it work. Otherwise, the only way I know to do it is to create a temp file. Note that when you're using echo on Windows, the trailing space is also taken literally, so you'd need to do
