You could try something like that:
#!/usr/bin/expect

spawn /usr/bin/passwd [lindex $argv 0]

set password [lindex $argv 1]

expect "New UNIX password:"
send "$password\r"
expect "Retype new UNIX password:"
send "$password\r"
expect "passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully."
send "\r"

spawn /usr/sbin/htpasswd -c passwdfile [lindex $argv 0]

expect "password:"
send "$password\r"
expect "password:"
send "$password\r"

expect eof

Please try it on the command line first, as I'm not an expect expert ;-(

Cheers
