I'd like to sync the repository with remote regularly with crontab

greedy@algorithms:~$ rsync -av root@me.com:/root/books .

root@me.com's password:

The above command need to have password input which cause it impossible to set a timely crontab

How could I input the password automatically without artificial intervening.

Best bet in this case is to set up ssh keys so that you can log in without entering a password.

You should set up your account to be able to ssh to root@me.com without a password by using ssh keys. Many, many sources on how to to this are available via a web search.
