i would strongly advise against scripting a password-required process for the usual security reasons ...

anyways, see if a here document could work for you ... (see sample below) ...
Code:
otto@susegeek:~> su - << EOF
> B0r3d2!
> id
> ps
> EOF
Password: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 6423 pts/1    00:00:00 su
 6426 pts/1    00:00:00 bash
 6455 pts/1    00:00:00 ps
