So this was my father's bitcointalk account. There's also wallet.dat and a text file:

bitcoin.org
bitcointalk.org
The password is THE DATE

The coins are still there. I guess I can try some dates

I've never used the old Bitcoin client. What do I do?

I don't see any reason in trying to guess the date. Just run the brute-forcing software/script an configure it to use numbers only. As there are only 10 numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 such passwords are considered unsafe and can be brute-forced easily.

P.S. What happened to your father? Is he alive?  Huh
