Password protecting a VI does NOT encrypt the VI at all. This would make upgrading
a password protected VI to a newer version impossible.

Since the binary structure of a VI is LabVIEW private and only LabVIEW can
interprete it in a meaningful way this is a pretty safe protection. LabVIEW
itself can load the diagram independent of any applied password for recompilation
when the VI is loaded into a different LabVIEW version or on a different
LabVIEW platform.
