I don't see where you're setting a key for the encryption/decryption. Every crypto algorithm needs you to supply a key. (Which of course you need to store somewhere safe.)

Maybe there's a better way to do what you want. Looks like you're trying to store a user's password safely — the best way to do this is by using the Keychain, which is (among other things) a secure encrypted password store.
