How does a workgroup file get created?

We didn't have one but all of a sudden one showed up. Now we can't
get into the database. I joined the workgroup file but it asks for a
username and password. I don't know how it ever got activated. Is it
possible to set up a workgroup security by accident?

No. Someone's been "fiddling". Use your most recent backup and apply some
restrictions at file level (for starters).

It is possible that someone setup a new workgroup. By
default, the act of setting up a new workgroup joins you
to the new workgroup.

See if you can re-join the default workgroup.
