Forms compilation script

Question

Hi,
I am using a batch file to compile all my Forms, Reports, libraries. I do not want to hardcode the username/ password to the database in this batch file. Is there an alternate way by which I can do the same thing without having to hardcode the passwords ?
Thanks

I used to use this windows .bat script for fmb files:
so say you call it compileall.bat
then to call it from the dos prompt like so. The id and password are not coded in a script:
compileall myuser/mypassword@myinstance
rem . Username/Password@connect_string = %1
@echo on
IF %1 == "" GOTO END
@echo Removing old FMX files
rem del *.fmx
@echo Creating the new FMX files
FOR %%F in (*.fmb) DO start /w ifcmp60 userid=%1 batch=y module=%%F
@echo.
@echo Done!!! Remember to move the FMX files into your runtime directory.
@echo.
:END
It's something like this for forms 11:
rem . Username/Password@connect_string = %1
@echo on
IF %1 == "" GOTO END
FOR %%F in (*.fmb) DO start /w frmcmp.exe userid=%1 module=%%F statistics=NO logon=YES compile_all=YES
@echo.
@echo Done!!! Remember to move the FMX files into your runtime directory.
:END
