You could hire someone to reverse engineer the software and see if the password was indeed hard coded into it. However, I doubt they'll find anything. Chances are, the password is in the data file and you can't open it without that password. If you didn't take care to not forget/loose that password, you're out of luck.

Quite frankly, I find it difficult to believe that you've used this software along with the password for nearly 14 years now, and all of a sudden you've forgotten what it was. So, the standard TR response for 'forgotten passwords' applies here.

that is the only way you could lose it in formatting.

Time to get a new package.

you need to find the password or hire someone to crack it.
The developer died, however is there another way to obtain the info? If not, then you are SOL and should have had the information/password stored for future use if needed.
