If you don't know the password, you need a password cracker - there's plenty
on the web - some free, some not.  

I think this is the one I used once:
http://www.brothersoft.com/ms-access-password-recovery-37083.html

But Google access password recovery and you'll see lots of offerings.

Alternatively you could track down the guy who put the password on and find
out what it is.

If you know the password, of course, then it's easy - open access, open the
database exclusive using the combo box on the open command button in the
file open dialog box.  Then Tools-->Security-->Unset Database Password.

Hello!

I tried to log in to a customer's system this morning, only to discover that
someone had applied a database password.  I'm not familiar with these, and
would like to ask if someone could let me know how to clear this or get
around it.

Let me know off-line if you'd prefer.

Thanks!
Dan
