Yes, create a new .mdw. Join it. Create the Admin user using the same PIN code. Open Access, put in the Admin user name (the password will start blank, but that is okay), and then open your database. The .mdb only stores what the account has permission too, not what the password or user name is. It gets a 'hash', which is generated by the User Name and the PIN you put in when you create the account. So recreating it in another .mdw should work just fine.

Hi group, Murphy came along, big time!! The administrator of an Access database I created back in 2002 passed away and nobody knows anything about the users/passwords stuff. However in my documentation (!! I CREATED DOCUMENTATION !! GO FIGURE) I saw that I written down the adminuser + pincode!!!!! Can I do anything with that? I really need to get in.
