Hi Andrew,
Turns out SQLite added a user authentication extension in 10/2014 that
requires a password to access an SQLite database but it's not part of the
SQLite library provided with Livecode.  It has to be compiled into the
source and a compile time flag set to enable it

See http://www.sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/ext/userauth/user-auth.txt

I recently added a QCC request to update the SQLite library which is now
about 8 months and several releases old, including the addition of this
feature.
