Install sshpass with below commands.

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/sshpass-1.05-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

 rpm -ivh sshpass-1.05-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

sshpass -p ‘password’ ssh root@IP

a little bit more secure is to use: SSHPASS=123456 sshpass -e ssh root@127.0.0.1 this will hide the password using ps... – LilloX Dec 16 '15 at 08:13
