Have you considered that the password isn't exactly what you think it is?
I did that once. Took me the longest time to figure it out too because I
couldn't believe I'd done the typo twice in a row!

Please respond to Access
Developers discussion and
problem solving
Thanks for the reply Lambert but my son's a student. Backups are an
unknown word, Formatting the disk and starting from there is a nightmare
scenario. I'd happily restart the upgrade but can't even get into
Windows to do anything, and anyway I don't imagine one can "upgrade"
when you're already on W2K.
