can't log on to database (1 Viewer)

[odun]

Hi all,

I was playing with passwords for one of my access db.

I tried opening the db with the password, but it won't work. So, I thought I forgot the password. I checked some posts on this forum that helped in retrieving the password and it's the same that I have been trying. I am not sure if the Name is correct, is there a way to retrieve the log on name?

I also noticed that when I try opening any other db on my system, it asks me to log on, I though I was only applying a password to one file.

Please help

Thanks!

I had the same problems with our dbases.the problem turned out to be with the workgroup admin file (wrkgadm.exe) it had been linked inadvertantly to a dbase with a uname and password . If memory serves it was an access 97 dbase and this was how it was fixed
C:\programfiles\microsoft office\office\1033\wrkgadm.exe
double click on the file wrkgadm.exe
join
browse
C:\programfiles\microsoft office\office\system
click on system click on open

Not sure how to do it in later versions of Access
However if you select tools then security then user then user-level security wizard.
The first screen mentions work group information files

Thanks Smart.

I am using Access 2003. I tried searching the forum but the suggestions are not working..

I can't even open a blank database without access asking me for password e.t.c. and the password is not working even though it is the correct password.

If I reinstall my access, would it work?

Thanks

It's solved...I played with creating something and it now works.

Thanks all.
