If you're embedding the password, simply tokenize your script (kix32 -t script.kix). Distribute and run the resulting .KX file. Be sure to have a backup first!!!

If you need to store the password in a file, you can search for the CODEC UDF, which does a reasonable job of obfuscating the data or password. We use that medhod, storing a few scrambled passwords in an INI file.

We get creative by storing part of the decode key in the data file and part somewhere else. You need both parts to decode the passwords. There's other ways, and someone with enough time/resources could eventually decode the data, but it isn't that easy.
