again thank you
kind regards

Actually it has concept and function in Japanese but English does not have an equivalent to that!
はmainly indicates the 'main topic' or sometimes the subject in a specific sentence.
In the case mentioned above, 'password' is the main topic. In English, it might be preceded with the definite article 'the' (the password is~~). However, in japanese its 'part of speech' is expressed using は!
Again, such particles do not exist in Occidental languages, therefore, it cannot be interpreted precisely in English
