Windows 8 command line: how do I use taskkill through a remote computer on a small LAN

[Steven Merrell]

This is for my home network. I want to be able to use command prompt to close out of any unresponsive apps on my network from a different computer because I hate it when I have to do a cold reset on any computer just because one application is locked up, becaus most of the time windows is running just fine. I know that the command should look like this: taskkill /s computer-name /u username /p password /im application.exe. /f (optional) /t (optional). But every time I enter that code with the correct information I get an error saying that the user name or password I entered is wrong, but I know the information I entered is correct because I've gone over it at least five times. So can anyone help me figure this out? Examples would be very helpful too since this is my first time using this command.
