As you stated that you use navicat to set the sqlite encryption. Encryption means that you've encrypted the database it's different from setting a password to a database..

in setting a password to a database try this code..

//create file 
SQLite.SQLiteConnection.CreateFile("c:\\mydatabase file.db3")
Dim cn As New SQLite.SQLiteConnection
//set password
cn.ChangePassword("paxword")
//remove password
cn.ChangePassword("")

Remove the encryption first ..
