Thanks for your replies Brain + Peter.

128 bit encryption is presumably only as strong as the password.

What I'm suggesting is that someone could crack the password used for the 128-bit
encryption/decryption, rather than try to crack the encryption itself.

Because the key used for the encryption can be long enough that it would
take more time than the universe will exist before a computer will determine
the key.
