You can ssh in using key-based only authentication, and then edit the sudoers file not to require a password. This will eliminate the password at the two steps you described.

To see up ssh key based ssh access:

ssh-keygen ssh-copy-id dest-server 

And the for the sudoers file:

sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers #uncomment the following and then add yourself to the sudo group # %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL 

Better would be to require no password for sudo only for the commands you need to automate this particular function. See my answer here for that.
