How do I pass the password to a net use command without being prompted?

I need to map a drive without being prompted for the password. I am trying to use net use and putting the password inline within the command. I get an error.
net use H: \MYSERVERMYFOLDERSBackup /user:ABCCompanyJoeUser oasddkjkla
I get the following error: 'sddkj' is not recognized as an internal or external command. If it's not obvious, it's a part of the password that I entered.
The command works fine if I remove the password and enter it upon the dialog box. I'm using Windows 10. Is it still acceptable to pass the password right after the username?

The command above looks correct to me. when writing your batch file, what program did you use?

As I read the documentation, the password should follow the network share address.

@Stese I used both the command window and a SQL Server cmd call. Both returned the same error.
