If I have an encrypted string and the password used to encrypt this string but do not have the encryption method, would it be possible to decrypt the string?

For example I am given string

02061258adfa677fa1655f8993c4e35f

And I am told that the password is

password

But I am not told what the encryption method is (In this example it is Blowfish-Compact)

How would I figure out that the decrypted string is

Example String

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Assume that the encryption method is custom made for this example.

    This question is best addressed on crypto.stackexchange.com which specializes in these kinds of problems (and probably already has an answer for you). It's off-topic for SO because it doesn't apply to any particular implementation. – Rob Napier Aug 25 '14 at 20:37
