The login password. Do not enclose the password within quotes. Do not use commas in passwords. If the password is case-sensitive, type it that way.

ENCRYPTKEY {key_name}

Specifies the encryption key.

key_name

Specifies the logical name of a user-created encryption key in a local ENCKEYS lookup file. The key name is used to look up the actual key in the ENCKEYS file. A user-created key and an associated ENCKEYS file is required when using AES encryption. To use key_name, generate the key with KEYGEN or another utility, then store it in an ENCKEYS file on the source and target systems. The AES ciphers have a 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit block size.
