Is the user name and password for ssh? If so, set up keyless access to that machine.

Hello,
I'm having a spot of trouble trying to work out how to do something and i'm hoping you help me out.
I have a Terminal shell script that i want to run through Automator and create an application with. I can put the script in the shell in automator easy so that's not the problem... the problem is that the script requires the user to enter their admin password. (in terminal itself, you enter the script, hit enter, and then are prompted for a password at which point you must enter the password and hit enter again.) So, when i run the script, it fails as it cannot complete without that password. Is there a way i can set this up so the user can be prompted for their password, and that password entered in it's place.


Thanking you in advance,
Jess
