(Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8) External Program Unable To Connect To SQL Server.

I have a program called Solution 9.
I am trying to get it to authenticate through to my database, but it won't connect. Instead it comes back with a message saying

"Unable to open database.

Login failed for user [ * ]"

When I check the log on SQL Server it says there is a password mismatch.
I have cleared the password for the user on my SQL Server. But no luck, which would suggest that the program has an encrypted password that it is trying to use for the login process.

My question is, how do I find out what the password is? How do I trace it so that I can then adjust my SQL user to accept that password?
