Locked out of DB after disable shift

[meg10892]

I made a very stupid mistake, and now can't figure out how to fix it.

I used code to disable users from using the shift key, but when creating my "hidden" rectangle on the main screen I clicked ByPassKeyOff for OnClick instead of ByPassKeyOn. Now I'm completely unable to open the database in an unlocked mode.

Any ideas how to do this? Thank you in advance!

I think you are out of luck - it is there for a reason. Depending on your other settings, you may be be able to create a new db and import all of your objects. Failing that there are unlocking specialists out there, but I don't know what they charge and how effective they may be.

hope you get this sorted, but for future reference, keep version histories of all your databases. it isn't just things like this - dbs's can get corrupted for a variety of reasons. you need a safe backup available.

I used my saved copy and started over. Thank you for the feedback!
