database password

[Guest]

We have a database with a password assigned to it in order to open it. Is
there a way to open the database without the password? (The person
maintaining it left the job and no one has the password). This isn't user
level security (with a login and password) - just a general password where
the prompt comes up upon trying to open the db.

Thanks for any help!

Don't know what version of Access you have but check Michael Kaplan's great
