You might try this:

StandardPBEStringEncryptor strongEncryptor = new StandardPBEStringEncryptor();
strongEncryptor.setPassword("jasypt");
strongEncryptor.setAlgorithm("PBEWITHMD5ANDDES");
HibernatePBEEncryptorRegistry registry =                          HibernatePBEEncryptorRegistry.getInstance();
registry.registerPBEStringEncryptor("strongHibernateStringEncryptor", strongEncryptor);

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", strongEncryptor.decrypt(configuration.getProperty("hibernate.connection.password")));
ServiceRegistryBuilder serviceRegistryBuilder = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistryBuilder.buildServiceRegistry());
