Thanks for the reply. It seems that for now I will have to change the password of the database to nothing and then use it with any other application and then re-encrypt it later when I am finished with it.
Thanks to all of you for helping me out.

While that library is supported via this mailing list, most tools that can read SQLite databases are not written using system.data.sqlite, so they do not have access to that specific encryption functionality. While it certainly would be possible for someone to port it to C (or to write a database browsing tool with C# or other .NET language), it has not been done as far as I know. There are multiple incompatible encryption extensions that have been written for SQLite by third parties (including the one in system.data.sqlite, which I believe predates its inclusion as a subproject of SQLite). There is also one that is offered by the project lead as an extra add-on (not public domain). Details are available at http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/cerod.html though I doubt it would help you in this specific case.
