Well if you change the rcon password to "", then you won't be able to use it either. If you need to use it then your only hope is a strong password that you don't give out to anyone else, unless you absolutely trust them with your life.
The only reason I can think to need rcon is if you use something like HLSW. If you only use rcon in game, set the password to "", block the port, and use SourceMod or AMXX for rcon access.
