Question Password Recovery

[asif pasha]

Hi,
I have a database in Access 97, however i forgot the password to open it. Please suggest me how do i get back the password.

I doubt if anyone will as unless cannot prove legal ownership of the database. How do we know if you have not ripped it off from somewhere/someone?

There are solutions out there, the question is how did you loose the password in the first place. As the owner you should always be aware of the passwords.

Its giving an error, i can't view anything.

 

[DCrake]

Which actual password have you lost?

Front End
Back End
Code Protection
Security


Is it a password that has been created as a user defined login screen?

No, its the Security one. The password which ask when we open the database.

 

[DCrake]

Yes but has the password been set on the front end or the back end or is it one mdb that contains both the tables, queries, forms, etc? (Unsplit database).

Yes, it is an unsplit database. But i'm not getting what is front end/back end, it is like as soon as i created a database i went to Tools - > Security - > Set database password.

 

[DCrake]

Do a search on Front end / End back for more details.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion, however i tried but unfortunately it removes only the password of protected cells and workgroup protection. I am talking about the opening one.
