best way to store database password in ASP application?

I am new to ASP security. I want to know what is the best way to store
database password in ASP application? Or if there are any places to
store in IIS? I tried to store the password in VB DLL file, but looks
like when I open the DLL file, I can still see the plain text password.
I looked at this tool http://www.aspencrypt.com but it is too
expensive.

I want to ask what is the best approach to my problem without any cost?
Please advise. thanks!!
