Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open Access?

I set up some security file for a particular database. But now,
whenever I open ANY access application, it prompts me for password.

Other ppl don't have this problem. how do I get rid of it? I just want
security for one database, not all of them.

Sounds like you added security to the System.MDW, or you changed
Access to use a different MDW for all databases. You need to revert
back to the standard system.mdw.

The preferred method is to specify an MDW on the command line when you
start your application, using the /WRKGRP switch. This will affect
only that application. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209207 for
more info on command line switches.
