Heeelllp - need a password

[Oldsoftboss]

Big trouble. My kids decided to put a database password on the DB i,ve been working on for the last 6 months. Just for fun. Gotta luv em. But then they type in the password and it won't open !! Suprise suprise. Hey what was that password? I think it was this or that, but to no avail.
Is there a way to get around this? or has all my work gone to the heavens

Hoping for help

Dave.

This isn't going to be of much help to you because I don't really have a an answer for this however I do know that the passwords are case sensitive so if you have an idea of a few passwords that it might be you may want to try it in both upper and lower case.

I'm sorry I can't be of anymore help but I am interested to see what replies you get.

Lucky me.
Searched google.com for 'passwords for access' and downloaded a program from www.PasswordRecoveryTools.com
Recovered the password no worries, and free.
