recover a password of file *.db

Hello,

I have given an application with a file xy.db (size: 200 MByte).
I want to convert it into MDB or CVS.

with a binary editor ("WinHex"), I see inside the file xy.db:
--------------------------------------------------
almost at the beginning of the file, I see the copyright notice:
WATCOM International Corp., Copyright (c) 1987, 1994

searching for "Password" gives several occurrences such as:
SYSUSERAUTHVIEWÁcreate view SYS.SYSUSERAUTH("name",
  password,resourceauth,dbaauth,scheduleauth,user_group)
  as select user_name,password,resourceauth,dbaauth,scheduleauth,user_group
    from SYS.SYSUSERPERM
N"  where

below this, I see another possibly helpful info:
SYSCOLUMNSVIEWÿcreate view SYS.SYSCOLUMNS(creator,cname,tname,coltype,nulls,length,
  syslength,in_primary_key,colno,default_value,remarks)
  as select(select user_name from SYS.SYSUSERPERM
      where user_id=SYSTABLE.creator)

when searching for "login", I get:
"SYSLOGINBASE
N+"
--------------------------------------------------

Also found in the same directory are some *.dbf files and some *.sql files.

Question 1: what kind of file is xy.db ?
Question 2: how can I open (display) xy.db, to see the stored records in a way readable by human ?
Question 3: how can I convert xy.db into an *.mdb or into a *.cvs ?

I believe (but I am not sure) the only problem is I do not have the password.
I already tried to open the file with "Sybase SQL Anywhere", but I failed. It seems to me it wants a password (see the enclosed error messages). I am sure somewhere in space, there is a tiny tool to retrieve the password :-)
