Encrypt password in database.php

Short answer: no.

And in my opinion pretty pointless, as the database is accessable via lots of other ways as well. Or is your demo connecting to a secured database over the internet?

If you want to encrypt it, you will need an encryption key, otherwise you will not be able to decrypt it. And where are you going to store that? Kind of chicken-and-egg problem. At some point, someone has to enter a password to make it secure. Or you have to come up with a way to do encryption with a certificate.
