You can get rid of the password prompts.
You can specify the MySQL password on the command line with
"--password=supersecret" (not recommended if you have untrusted users
on that system - it'll be visible to "ps").
Another option (especially if you want to do this regularly) might be
to setup a MySQL user which can do this particular operation and allow
only root to login to that MySQL user without a password. I'm not sure
about the details but dig around, there is tons of documentation about
MySQL.
You can get rid of the ssh password prompt by using private/public keys.
(see "ssh-keygen", "ssh-copy-id", "ssh-agent").
