You can add fields to pass your Username/password:

' User account and password to authenticate to the server defined
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", "YourUserName")
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", "YourPassword")

Additionally check out following fields that you can utilize if you want:
' Mail Server Port Number (Default 25 - which is SMTP 25/TCP)
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport", "25")

' There are two levels of Send Usage
' cdoSendUsingPickup = 1 "Send message using the local SMTP service pickup directory."
' cdoSendUsingPort = 2 "Send the message using the network (SMTP over the network)."
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing", "2")

' There are three levels of SMTP Authentication
' cdoAnonymous = 0 "Do not authenticate"
' cdoBasic = 1 "Use basic (clear-text) authentication."
' cdoNTLM = 2 "Use NTLM authentication"
mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1")
