The password is masked when you type it.
When running the batch script, you can provide the password by file name as a parameter in the following format: –f:passwordfile. The file name used as a parameter is placed in the location defined in “Encrypted Password Folder” option of System Settings.
Do not include a disk or directory specification as part of the file name, just enter a file name with or without an extension.
