In the interest of correctness, given that you post from an ieee domain: you didn't "hear". Let me explain: you may have misunderstood or misread one of my posts. The DB2 UDB administrator password is unencrypted in the first data file in UDB v7 for Windows. There is no such thing as "db2 unencrypted passwords". That was never written anywhere. You may have "heard" it, but from someone else.
