Opening 2003 security database in 2007

I have read thru on how to open a 2003 database with user level security in
2007 and it doesnt seem to work. I greated the database so I do have admin
access but it won't let me even type in a password. Any ideas on how I can
gain access to my 2003 version on 2007?

Try creating a shortcut to the database, and put the reference to the group
file (.mdw) in the shortcut. Note that the shortcut must include
msaccess.exe, not just the .mdb file.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSAccess.exe"
"C:\MyApp\MyApp_FE.mdb" /wrkgrp "E:\Myapp.mdw"

For some reason this doesnt work for me.
It tells me that the locations doesnt exist.
