Password Activated Although Never Set

[Londa Sue]

I have two databases and set a password on one of them. When I attempted to
open the other one (they are both on my desktop), I had to enter the same
password that I set on the first one. I never opened the second one to set
security as it is not a database on which security is needed.

Any ideas on what occurred and how to fix it? I have attempted to undue an
unset password with no success.

Thanks,

Are you prompted for just a password, or for a username and password?

Likely the latter, in which case you are joined by default to your secure mdw. Use the workgroup administrator to rejoin system.mdw

It was prompting me for a password. Admin was the default user. I did a few
things after joining the system.mdw, and now it works.

Thanks,
