      The settings password is used for certain settings which need to
      be stored in encrypted form for security reasons. At the moment,
      the only encrypted setting is the iSCSI initiator secret, see
      <xref href="man_VBoxManage-storageattach.dita"/>. As long as no
      settings password is specified, this information is stored in
      <i>plain text</i>. After using the
      <!--option not processed within -->--settingspw|--settingspwfile option once, it
      must be always used. Otherwise, the encrypted setting cannot be
      unencrypted.
