Adding authentication to PowerShell command

Question

I'm running the following PowerShell command:

$colDisks = get-wmiobject Win32_LogicalDisk 
    -ComputerName $strComputer
    -Filter "DriveType = 3"

But I'm not having enough privileges to run this command for remote servers.

How can I add an authentification to this command to have more privileges?

You could use runas to start PowerShell as a different user. — Alexander Obersht

I need to enter my own credentiels, not windows one

You can enter a different account credentials with Get-Credential. Try it. Username format will be domainname\username or (for a local user account) computername\username.
