Need help on DB2 password encryption

Hi guys,
I am a newbie to DB2.
My current project need some sort of encryption on user login password in user table to prevent from anybody seeing it include db2 administrator. Is there a password "type" in DB2 so that the password can be encrypted automatically?
(DB2 9.5 and winXP for test env, DB2 9.5 and AIX for production)

Any suggestions are appreciated!
