Password retrieval

[shadowraven]

I have a Piece of code thats meant to work in access to retriev a password of a databas provided you have permission to do so, the problem is i cant seem to work out how to use it could you look at the examples and provide a guide on how to get the code to run.

I AM NOT USING THIS FOR ANYTHING ILEGAL.

Create a form with a button and two text fields called PasswordFld and FileNameFld

Copy the code in the code for the form (or paste it into a module it makes little difference)

Then drop this code into On Click event of the button

PasswordFld = AccessPassword(FileNameFld)

This will take the value of the FileNameFld (which should be both Path and Filename) calculate the password and drop it back into the PasswordFld

password

I tried the above suggestion and couldnt seem to get it to work if anyone has code which can be copy and pasted and used in access 97 to get a password from the database or even a working example of this please tell me, thanks

As per my instructions I have implemented the code and it works.

Make sure you put in the full path file name and extension.

Cheers.

Check this link out if you are interested in retrieving the entry level password in an Access database. It works for all versions of Access 95/97/2000/2002.

Why do you need to open up the Database?



I've got a work around for this kind of set up but I mainly only use it when I lock myself out of my own applications. It may not even work on his db but I think it's poor form hacking someone else's work without their permission.

I think that the password you are referring to is from custom security, not from the Access security and that is why you cannot retrieve the password remotely. I have seen your Db (that you sent) and the only real flaw is that it reads the username and password from 1 table but then when a change is due, puts those changes into another table so it appears that the password does not change.

Password

In responce to emohawk Its a database I was working on sometime ago and it was password protected But i cant remember it so its not me trying to hack another persons work I wouldnt do that.

Fair enough.

Try this.

Create a new Database and simply import all of the existing tables and forms etc from the original database into the new one.

Not sure if it will work for you, let me know how you go.
