[AccessD] Accidentally Modified SYSTEM.MDA without Backup

Hi All,
While examining a file (chapter 14) from the CD in the Access97 ADH, I opened the change password form and although I did not enter or change passwords, I am no longer able to use any of my Access 2K files. (The old and new Passwords were blank in the dialog box.)  I now get prompted with the Logon Dialog box that asks for the Administrator password, for every Access application that I attempt to use.

Short of re-installing the SYSTEM.MDW from the installation CD, is there another quick way to rectify this problem?  (I did not make a backup of the SYSTEM.MDW file but plan to do so from now on and my installation CD is currently unavailable.)  

I was previously not using the Security Workgroups feature of Access, but now it appears that I may have to….

 Many thanks in advance.
