Description:
Class for management of password objects. The object contains a MD5 encrypted password.
Methods are of two types depending on source of password. From non-encrypted or encrypted sources.
All vis are documented. There is an example VI that shows how to use encrypted & non-encrypted versions.
Encryption level provides a mean to recursively encrypt many times over, resulting in better security against
rainbow tables attack. Initialize once with Password_Create method.

[Non-encrypted source]
Source is from a dialog box or equivalent. The password is not encrypted at the moment the object is created.
Password_Create method will create a new object, encrypt the password and store it.

[Encrypted source]
Source is from a file or tcp-ip connection. The password is already encrypted at the moment the object is created.
Password_CreateEncrypted method will create a new object and store the password.
