[mso] Re: Microsoft access DB password

Is the password in the security settings, or on the opening form?  I have
had luck when I accidentally locked myself out of my databases by trying to
set securities by renaming the system.mdw file and letting access create a
new one on file open.  You may want to research it a little first, I don't
know enough about it except it worked for me, but as to the potential harm
- that's why rename instead of delete.

If the password is on a form, if you create a new database, will it let you
simply import the tables?

Hi,
I was asked by a company  to open up a old database they contracted some
other company to do the previous time.
Its lock by VBA and password, so nobody recorded down whats the password to
open and write on it.
Can anyone suggest what I can do next to open up this database and pull out
those info  they wanted? Or just crack the password?

thanks

Computer users are divided into three types: novice, intermediate and
expert.
Novice Users - People who are afraid that simply pressing a key might
break their
computer.
Intermediate Users - People who don't know how to fix their computer
after they've
just pressed a key that broke it.
Expert Users - People who break other people's computers.

Best and regards,
