[AccessD] Getting around old workgroup security

Quote from the horse's mouth:

" 34.	How can I "de-secure" a database?
You need to have Administer permissions and/or be a member of the Admins group. Grant full permissions to the Users group and the Admin user account. Put the Admin user back in the Admins group and remove the password from the Admin user. You will not be prompted for a logon ID and password once the password is removed from the Admin user. Optionally, you can also run the Security Wizard again to transfer ownership of all objects back to the Admin user, but the wizard will also remove permissions from the Users group, which you may not want.

No...tried that...doesn't work. 
 
But, what I did do is setup an old laptop that had Win 95 on it...yes, Win 95...and it also had A97. We just got this relic back from a department last week...good timing.
 
I'm in the program, so now I just have to remove security...or so I am told. If any of y'all have any tips or instructions for this, I'm all ears...or in our case, I guess it is eyes ;o)
 
I'm going to be googling now, but I'll look for your input.

Can you open a blank db in A2003 or later and import all the objects from the A97 db?

Or save the A97 db in 2003 format or later and get around it that way?
