How do you encrypt a password by using the RSA Alg

I am new to encryption and I got these instructions

Use the RSA algorithm, and use PKCS #1.5 padding (not OAEP), and add the result to the encrypted stream –this becomes the encrypted password." String os from my code is a public key.

I have imported some jars; org-apache-commons-codec.jar and bcprov-jdk15-130.jar.

For some reasons I get an error on this line System.out.println("\n"+ "\n" +"encryptionresult" + "\n" + "\n" + Base64.toBase64String(cipher.doFinal(initiatorpassword.getBytes())) + "\n");

The error highlights toBase64String only on the whole string.

ERROR: "cannot find symbol method toBase64String."
