DecryptSQLite

This repository contains a simple utility, written in C#, which allows to change the password of an encrypted SQLite database (created with System.Data.SQLite).

Note that you have to know the old password in order to change it (the goal of this utility is not to help recovering a lost password).

How to build

DecryptSQLite depends on System.Data.SQLite, but this dependency is not included in this repository.

Before opening or building this project, please put System.Data.SQLite.DLL at the root of the project (next to this README.md file).

You can then use MonoDevelop to open and build this project.

Note that this project was built and tested with version 1.0.66.0 of System.Data.SQLite.DLL. It might not be compatible with other versions.

How to use

• Make sure DecryptSQLite.exe and the correct version of System.Data.SQLite.DLL are in the same folder.

• Execute DecryptSQLite.exe (e.g. by double-clicking on it).

• A dialog box to select the database file is displayed. Please select the source SQLite database file (.db3) and click on Open.

• Another dialog box then asks where to save the changed database. You can change the default path (if needed) and validate by clicking on Save.

• Another dialog box then asks for the password of the source database to decrypt it. Type the password and click on OK. If the source database is not encrypted, you can either click on Cancel or empty the field and click on OK.

• Another dialog box then asks for the new password to encrypt the database. Type the new password and click on OK. If you don't want to encrypt the changed database, you can either click on Cancel, or make sure the field is empty and click on OK.

• When the password removal operation completes successfully, a success message is displayed. Otherwise, an error message can be displayed.
