Log an as the owner of the database.
Grant all permissions for all objects to the Users group
Create a blank database using the default system.mdw file
and import all objects from the other database.

Open Access using the secured workgroup file and log in as someone with full
permissions on the file. Once in the file grant Full permissions to the
group "Users" on all objects.

Now close Access and reopen without using the secured workgroup and create a
new blank file. From that file import all of the objects from the previously
secured file. The permissions granted to "Users" should now allow you to do
this.

The resulting file will be identical to one that never had security applied.

However; the wizard normally makes a backup of your file so you should be
able to just revert to that (unless data has been entered since it was
secured).
 
yes data have been entered,
what is the best way to copy all the data from one access file to
another?(including tables,queries,macros and vba code)?

Either, connect to the correct workgroup file using wrkgadm.exe
or start Access using the /wrkgrp switch with the correct path to the
mdw file.
Or did someone delete the password of the admin user? If so,
give him a password.

security file,this is why the security is not working anymore

I think that you have already got the answer.
You need the security file. Unzip it or recreate it using the same
workgroup name and code that you documented when creating the
"security file" (workgroup information file, mdw).
If this is not possible, ask your IT to restore a backup that was
hopefully made.
If this is not possible: I can't tell what to do.
