how can i find the password

What 1099?  There are over a dozen kinds of 1099's.  What kind are you trying to see?   Where are you looking?

 A 1099NEC is typically issued by an individual or business for whom you performed work as an independent contractor, so seek a copy from them if you did not save yours.  Many of the other types of 1099's are issued by banks, brokerages and other financial institutions from which you can seek copies.

Is this for a 1099NEC or 1099Misc you prepared using Quick Employer Forms?

contact the issuer. they are the only ones that would have the password.   generally,  when you are e-mailed a password-protected document a separate e-mail is ent with the password.
