runas when user has no password

Is there a way to execute the runas command ( from a current admin account ) on an account that has no defined password.
Runas asks for the account password, and if left black, the command fails with
Code: Select all
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to acquire user password
In a similar fashion , ssh in to such an account ? same issue

Executing the "runas" command on an account with no defined password is difficult since leaving the password blank causes the command to fail. Consider creating a password for the account to ensure proper execution.
