CONVERT(VARBINARY(64), pwdEncrypt(@strUserPassword)),
I am came accross this in an example database code, it was sitting in an INSERT Statement.
I cant find any explanation for this "pwdEncrypt"
The example database has no functions of this name, BOL has nothing. If there is stuff for SQL server un documented, where can I find a reference for this secret stuff ??

PWDEncrypt() is an undocumented and unsupported built-in SqlServer function.
There is no guarantee that it will exist in future versions of SqlServer.

Just to complete, it is used to encrypt data. I think sql uses it mostly to encrypt the passwords, but we can use it as well.
