Secrurity in Access project file

I have an .adp application that is storing passwords in clear text.
Encrypting the passwords seems like a solution but I don't see any encryption
functionality in Access or SQL Server 2000, although I did read that SQL
Server 2K has undocumented encryption capability.

Can anyone recommend an approach to password encryption?

Also, I've been researching Hash functions and it's pretty obvious how it
works, but what would prevent me from plucking the encrypted password from
the database and presenting it back to itself?
