It's stored in registry:
System DSN:
HKLM\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\<DSN name> in string value Password.
All the users with access to the computer can read it (don't forgot
the network registry access).
User DSN:
HKCU\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\<DSN name> in string value Password.
If everything is properly only the user and Admin can read it.
File DSN:
in file
All the users with access to the file can read it.

Luf
P.S. The admin could change the default ACL on registry tree.
