The password is stored on a user object as the attribute '__' (that's a 
double underscore.) Obviously this is not useful to you if you're 
encrypting passwords. And it must be accessed through file-system code, 
since it starts with (and is) a double-underscore.

There is no standard way to set passwords, btw. Some UserFolders will 
work if you set __, others require use of some other method.
