Security problem with Admin password

[Malcolmn]

I have a application (Access 2003 format) but developed on 2007, which runs
fine on my machine (development) and I added the names for the Users along
with a password on the administrator, me, in the Users & Permissions. It was
not until I transferred the application to a second machine that I realised
that the security controls relate to the environment i.e. all DB applications
on the machine not the specific DB. That is not a major issue but in this
process, It's a Laptop with different Keyboard layout, I managed to change
the administrator password to something I know not what and I can no longer
gain admin access to anything!! I have tried replacing the Security.mdw file,
no difference. I even uninstalled Access and re-installed no change. Can
anyone tell me how to remove the security control and replace it. I am not
normally this daft, but was distracted at the time by showing the application
to the potential users!!
HELP PLease!!

Chris,

Yes thanks, I recovered everything on my desktop OK using the .BAK no
problem. The issue is with the Laptop, where For some reason the Password has
got "messed up". I thought if I could find teh "secure.mdw" file I could
simply replace it with the original from my desktop, but that appears not to
work!! The only "secure" file I can find is in my trusted location, which
happens to be "Access DB" in Documents. However, I will follow you
recommendations and hope that solves it.

Thanks
