Connecting to a remote PC in a workgroup environment

I apologize for the very basic question.
I need to run a script to get information about a remote PC (i.e. serial
number, OS version and so on).
As the remote PC is not member of any AD domain, how can I send username and
password of the administrator of the remote PC?
What syntax should I use?
Regards
Mario

You need to specify the account name & password of an admin account on the
remote machine.

Thank you for your answer.

The question, at this point, is: what syntax can I use? Can anybody provide
a sample?

It depends on the objects/methods you use. Let's have a look at your code!
