Defaulting to Windows password in the DB logon prompt

[Dave_cha]

I currently use %username% in the command line for all db shortcuts to default the logon name to the current windows user.
I'd like to take the next step and default the password to the windows password as entered by the current user. If both the windows and DB passwords are the same they would be automatically authenticated to the DB otherwise they would be prompted for the correct pwd.
Has anyone managed to do this? Neither %password% or %userpassword% seem to do the trick.

D:\APPS\MSOFFICE\Office\MSACCESS.EXE "N:\DBS\YourDB.mdb" /WRKGRP "N:\DBS\YourWorkgroupFile.mdw" /user %username% /pwd %password%

Thanks Dave

One cannot and should not be able to read the password so easily...

You can build your own NT-Check, checking the user-name/password combination against the one stored on the server. But you cannot retrieve the password...
