Validate encrypted field

Hi,
I am trying to write a validation rule against an encrypted field and getting the error:  Error: You referenced an unsupported field type called "Text (Encrypted)" using the following field: Password__c.  

The forumla I am using is:  IF(ISBLANK(Password__c),0,1).  What am I missing?

crtv,

use LEN instead of ISBLANK for encrypted text. 
IF(LEN(Password__c)==0,0,1)

my bad. formula field does not support encrypted text according to the salesforce document. 
but maybe you can ask salesforce to enable it for you.
