Depending on what OS is in use you may need something with RC4 support built in:

The SQLite file is how it is, you can just use the sqlite3.exe tool on the database. Unfortunately, it uses the [RC4 “database scrambling”](https://www.sqlite.org/see/doc/trunk/www/readme.wiki) on Windows, so you may need a copy of sqlite3.exe with the RC4 support compiled in.

I think I’ve seen some people mention specific tools they’ve used but I’m not sure how to search the forum for them, sorry.
