Hello! First of all, sorry if i’m posting in the wrong section, is my first time… I have a question regarding the title  
I have a database from a game and i’m using DB Browser for SQLite. When i try to open it is saying to enter a password for the db. Is there any method to decrypt the password and access the database ?

Hello @Spikyd - if it is protected by SQLCipher you would need to know the password / key material used to create it in order to open the database.
