You should change the password that you coded into the script and save.

First of all, I know that an offline wallet is the most secure, but I'm not ready to set one of those up. On that note, useful link:

If I keep a copy of my wallet password somewhere on my computer -- in a text file or something -- will it be obtainable by a hacker? And if so, what if I kept it in the form of an image -- typed out in MS PAint and saved as an image. The idea of a hacker scanning my computer and moreover actually finding my wallet's password sound's a bit paranoid. But if that's really possible, disguising it shouldn't be too hard right?
Another thing is that I just used a brute force script in order to recover my password, because after I encrypted my wallet I wrote my password down only and missed a character in doing so. I would imagine there's a record of this script and it should be deleted for security reasons. How do I delete the record?
