Since there is no data type called "binary" in VB I would suggest you set it to variant when you pass it to a parameter in a stored procedure defined as varbinary. However I would suggest you instead define it as string and change the stored procedure and table to use a varchar data type.

Changing the datatype in the database to varchar and the parameter to the same works well. Is there any big difference or risk to doing it this way?
There are many ways to learn to code these days. From coding bootcamps like Flatiron School to online courses to totally free beginner resources. The best way to learn to code depends on many factors, but the most important one is you. See what course is best for you.
Any reason to use varbinary? Why not use varchar?
What is the data type for the value you are assigning to the password?
