Circumvent database password


Hi,
I have a database created by an older program (not Access) that I need to open and retrieve information for my business. The manufacturer put a password on there so that only it's program could open it. I do not use that program, but it has information I need. Is there a way to find that password or circumvent the password altogether?

Please consider this a friendly warning:
- circumvention of this type (cracking) is a violation of the LQ Rules,
- do not advertise proprietary, commercially licensed software in your posts or signature,
...and note that deliberate future violations may result in loss of privileges.
