Need to pass runtime parameters using echo

Question

I have test.exe application which I run and it ask to enter password twice. In Unix I have seen this can be run using echo command for silent execution without editing the test.exe.

In Unix:

 echo -e "Password\nPassword"|test.ksh

Above command prompts for password twice and takes it through the echo command.

I want to do the same on DOS.

But I am getting a error like

 No console available for secure input 
 No console available for secure input 
 Can't spawn "cmd.exe": No such file or directory at / 
 Problem while processing the Password.

Do you have the source code for test.exe? – Oct 09 '12 at 05:59 — , Oct 09 '12 at 05:59

I tried that.. But it doesn't work too.. I guess it might be because of the password parameter.. I mean it is not visible from the console while we type. Also we cannot copy and paste password there. – Oct 09 '12 at 05:10
