Locking a file with a password

MG2 and MG3 support protecting output files so that a user must supply a password in order to decode or view them. (MG4 and JP2 do not support passwords.)

The ‑password or ‑pw switch accepts a password string that must not contain any spaces. For example:

-pw jpx678

creates a file with an access password of jpx678.
