Question mdw file/security help needed

[BlackOnBlack]

I have an old database that required joining a workgroup, then entering a user ID and password to open. When I copied the database several years ago, I forgot to copy the 'mdw' file (i.e., the workgroup file). Now I can't open the database. I know the passwords. Is there a way to create a new 'mdw' file and use the password or find some sort of password hacker tool that lets me open the file? The database was created using Access 2003.

The problem isn't only knowing the passwords. When you created the mdw and populated passwords for user accounts, you also created ID numbers. You need to know both the password and the associated ID number.

I think you're stuck.

Crap. Thanks for the response.
