Question about rsh and passwords

I've been trying to use rsh to read a tape drive located on another machine
on the network.  The problem is that if there is a password assigned to the
root on the other machine, I get "Permission Denied."  If I remove the root
password, it works fine.  The question is--is there any way to avoid this,
or to give rsh a password to use?  I couldn't figure this one out from 
reading the man page...
