Returns the password for the current package, or sets the password for new packages that are created.

Syntax

object.Password [= value]

The Password property syntax has the following parts:

Part	Description
object	An object expression that evaluates to a Package object.
value	A string which specifies the password to be used when creating a new patch file.

Remarks

A package created with a password cannot be applied unless the same password is provided before calling the Apply method. If no password is required, this value should be an empty string.

To determine if a password is valid for a given package, set the FileName property to the name of the package file, the Password property to the appropriate password, and then check the value of the Valid property.
