MS Acess db security - help!

[dzordz_parowkow]

Dear All,
I have a database with build in (access) users and passwords. I have a admin user but I forgot the password to this user.

Is it possible to retrieve this information somehow?

Thx in advance,
Dzordz

As far as I know.. no. You don't have a backup of your database?

I don't have not secured file if that's what you meant.

It's hard to believe that there are no any hacking tools that can be used to get the password or break in to the database with administrative priviledges. Are you sure that there is no way at all?

They always recommend making a backup of your *.mdb file before you start doing security stuff to avoid locking yourself out...
but try doing seaches on this board under 'security', 'lost password' and you may be able to find something else.

the idea of security is to stop people getting into things theyre not supposed to. the security wizards warn you to be really careful as its virtually impossible to get the information back
