You can't.
However there are alternatives, see, for instance: "How to keep secrets secret

You can't.
Those strings are normally held within XML files, which are text based, and don't "know" about passwords specifically.

What you want to do about this will depend on what environment you are in. For example, in a Web.Config file, you would use this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178372(v=vs.140).aspx[^]
