I set up a database with a password I do not remember. The database
remembers the password so that I can login. I duplicated the file and
the duplicate needs the password.

How can I find the password?

If you have Admin privileges, I would log onto the original database -
change the password to something you know. Make a duplicate of the
database that has the new password, and use that new duplicate.

I've seen apps that claim to crack FMP passwords... but I've never had
the need to use them, so I don't know how well they work... or if at
all.

Good Luck!

Mac or Windows?

On the Mac, FileMaker doesn't "remember the password", but it can store
it in the Keychain, and recall it from there when you open the database
again. You can use Keychain Access in the Utilities folder to locate the
keychain entry with the password and display it (for which you need to
enter the account password for your computer, or your keychain password
if it is different).

I have no idea if there is a similar mechanism on Windows.
