BASH ssh login

Ok, there's been a good number of posts about this, but here goes. I want a script to log in to a system via ssh without using keys.
This will be used to log in to Cisco IOS devices.
I have tried the following, but could not get it to work:
SSH login expect shell script to supply username and password
It's probible that I just don't understand 'expect' and that script is totally viable, but my question is can this be done with just BASH? If it can not, then I will move on to trying to figure out that expect script.
Thanks.

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
