Window Security popup is having keys being inputted.

[bbo1234]

So, I have a script where I am using shell execute to open an excel file and a window security popup shows up saying to enter your network credentials. The issue I am having is that i am not able to send in the password in the input field. I have tried using win exists, win activate, winwaitactive to have focus on the window but it still doesnt work. It doesnt input the password.  Here is the code I tried. The path to file is a network path in file explorer so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Shell Execute("path to file")
If Win Exists("Windows Security") Then
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("password")
EndIf

If not Win Exists("Windows Security") Then
   Continue on
Endif

You are not waiting for the program to start first and are testing right away for the prompt, which likely isn't shown yet.
Use the au3info program to check for the required window info of the prompt.

I did but there is no info on it beside the title and class for the window.

Show the modified script, which is now waiting for a window, and the exact found info so we can have a look at it.

I don't have a modified script for it but I tried using win get title to see if the title was correct  from the au3info program and it didnt show anything.

The UAC prompt is running as system. Au3info needs to be run elevated/as admin.
