Pay the developer enough to take over distribution, add a backdoor, deploy as part of the next update.
Alternatively, use threats of physical violence, including from the government, or appeal to the developer's patriotism, greed, nobility, etc., to install that backdoor.
If possible, please try this in practice:
create a vault or backup file then attempt to break or extract data from it without the master password
I’m particularly interested in attacks on user-created database/backup files.
