As part of securing a database, it's important to add a password to:
* The Admin user account (to activate the Logon dialog box).
I accidently cleared the "admin" user account password using the "Clear
Password" button when logged in with a user account in the ADMINS group.
The text above explained why when that happened and I reopened the DB using
the workgroup file it would not open the DB b/c the logon box wasn't
activated b/c the Admin User Account didn't have a password.
I don't think one should be able to clear the Admin User account password
unless logged in as the Admin and not merely a member of the ADMINS group to
avoid these kind of instances.
