I have a list of IP's for computers in my LAN, I don't want to enter password for computers that require password, So I would like to skip such PC's.

gvfs-mount smb://servername

I'm using the above command for mounting, So how to skip PC's that require password from trying to mount..

I had a script which consists of a list like gvfs-mount smb://servername1, gvfs-mount smb://servername2, gvfs-mount smb://servername3 ... and when I run the script I would like to skip PC's with password

Remove the hosts that require a password, from your script. If you're going to skip them anyway, then there's no need to have them there.

Alternatively, save the passwords permanently in your keyring, when the dialog pops up to ask for the passwords, and you won't be asked in the future, unless the password is changed on the server, when you run the script while logged in. Or you can encode the passwords in the URLs you're passing to gvfs-mount inside the script, but that is not as secure.
