Add myself to the administrators group, open the db exclusively

J

How do I get the login screen so I can log in with the admin account and
password?I need to change some scripts. I did join the SYSTEM db but I
assume it was only as a user.

I try to open the db exclusively but it won't let me. Then I try to edit a
form and it says I don't have permission. How do I add myself to the admin
account?

In the process of joining the System security db it created a
SYSTEM1 security database , so now there are 2 because I had the SYSTEM file
sent to me from the user. I guess my system created another one on my system
when I joined?
When I joined I tried to join as Workgroup Administrator. It created
C:\Documents and Settings\janis\Applications\Microsoft\Access\System1.mdw.
My name is jrough. In the create new workgroup dialog, the name should it be
my name, or it should be the account for the administrator? In this case it
the Administrator account name is Admin. What would be the workgroup ID in
that case? How do i get the
account and password screen to display so I can login to this db as the
Administrator so I can make changes? I'm just not clear what this System db
is for whether I need that one or the new one System1 and how to add myself
to the Administrators group and finally how to get he logon prompt?

tia,
janis
