Any way to encrypt password in hba_rescan.ps1?

[crunch382]

I just got a trial set up of VSAN with the help of a StarWInd support person. So far so good but I'm concerned that the root password for our ESX host machines was entered clear text into hba_rescan.ps1. Can anyone tell me how to get around having the password clear text?

The support person said he did not know of a way to do this.
