How do I pass the password to a net use command without being prompted?

I need to map a drive without being prompted for the password. I am trying to use net use and putting the password inline within the command. I get an error.

net use H: \\MYSERVER\MYFOLDERS\Backup /user:ABCCompany\JoeUser oasddkjkla

I get the following error: 'sddkj' is not recognized as an internal or external command. If it's not obvious, it's a part of the password that I entered.

The command works fine if I remove the password and enter it upon the dialog box. I'm using Windows 10. Is it still acceptable to pass the password right after the username?

Please try using:

net use H: \\MYSERVER\MYFOLDERS\Backup oasddkjkla /user:ABCCompany\JoeUser 

net use w: \\myserver\fileshare /user:MyID MyPassword

If you have a space in the password you need to put it in quotes, for example:

net use w: \\myserver\fileshare /user:"tom jone" "go to it"
