Security in the Database

[thalam]

I have an old Database which someone had created and they stopped using it. Now they would like to get the information from it. The problem is whenever I try to open it, it says

'You do not have the necessary permission to use the c:\SGSS Database.mdb object. Have your system administartor or the person who created this object establis hthe approprirate permissions for you'

I have the secure.mdw file. when I open it all it has is a few queries with the usernames and the groups.

Is there anyway I am able to get into this database? I have looked around in the forums here, but I didnt' really get a straight answer or the solution was for a different circumstance.

Thank You

Do you have anybody who can open it ?.

If so then maybe they can export the tables to a new database

I assume there is no documentation regarding the login's and passwords that were created.


You could try login of Admin and leave password blank. This can sometimes get you in where the person creating the security has forgotton to close the loopholes

Unfortunately I have no one to login to this database. I do not get an option to enter a username or password for this database, it just goes straight to that error message.
