Solved Form: Accdb Password

[vhung]

Good day to everyone...

I have created a form in which command could locate the db.currentname
The purpose for this, is to unlocked the password of an Accdb file

I found it successful during “password” delete and change,
That is applicable only if I know the current “pwd”

My single problem is how to detect or view the accdb file “pwd”
In times, I forgot it, is it possible to have vba on MS access?


please see the sample pics...

with vba, you can't.
the password is encrypted.

do you have a front end with tables linked to the password protected be? If so there is a way to find the password

This won't help, but what you really want to do is develop on an UNPASSWORDED database, and just add the passwords for testing, and final release. If you have passwords, write them down somewhere.

Well if that would be, so be it
for now i made trial on "crack a password" or generate
then run copy it to the file password entry

just see trial form...

Nice idea, meaning if link tables are connected to the encrypted split database
then possibility to recover "pwd" is attainable
hope i could find the way

Yes, most of the times
but there are also files that been encypted before
and nowhere to find the "pwd"

accdb's use a high level of encryption. There are services out there that claim to be able to recover a lost password (or at least remove it from the db) but never tried it and no idea how successful it is or what it costs

Well actually, i've tried to use a trial version of an "Accdb Password Get"
and it works when password is simple
I wish, i could reach their ideas on how they make that autorun scan, though too difficult.

It will take a prohibitvely long time to retrieve the password if it is reasonably long/strong.
