[AccessD] Hiding Back End Design

Any password can be cracked if someone is determined ... 
I like the suggestion about the file extension change, if the files is
named blah.DAT, or something even less obvious, they might not figure
out which program it's in (unless they look at the files your installer
puts in ...) It's really not 100% any which way you do it.  You just try
to make it hard enough to not be worthwhile.

I've heard tell that there are cheap Access password crackers available.
To someone in China who wanted in, would it be very difficult?
