I know when I write scripts that involve credentials i usually just do
the following instead of getting prompted every time i do a WMI query
in a loop or something like that.

Example:

$cred = Get-cred domain\user
#when i need to pass it i will just do the following on the gwmi
command as Kryten pointed out.
gwmi -computername pc1 -cred $cred

I find this works well if everything has the same credentials. You
could even do some logic to use one cred and if it doesn't work use
another.

I hope this helps,
