Any way to get past this? The last DB admin is gone and i took over his position however he decided to put a stupid password on a database i need to add some things to. Anyone know how to get past this please? I gotta have this done for monday.

(I tried emailing him, no reponse =( )

Thanks for any help.

Note: I am being serious here. I am not using this to steal anyones software, the company i work for paid him to develop this database and he had no right to leave without providing the password.
 
There are software packages on the internet that will do what you need. Search for Remove Access Password. Better still the company head should contact the previous admin and request the password. If refused he could be held liable for damages.
 
Autoeng, he moved away so we can only contact by email, and he isnt responding, we are trying to get ahold of him.

SforSoftware: Tried that. The password i have is in the actual visual basic code, not the database itself. I need to get access to the rest of the database so i can add a report.
 
Okay,

Is it an .mdb-file or .mde?
If .mdb, try starting the db with Shift-key pressed.

Luck,
Bert
 
That lets me into the DB. but not able to make or move around reports still.
 
I can see that the problem is a managerial one rather than technical.
It is not fair to give you a deadline to finish a project that is locked by a password.
Maybe you need to explain the facts to them before they start blaming you for not meeting your deadlines.

Best of luck!
 
Heh, boss = beatch sometimes. Doesnt really care about the reasoning behind things, just wants it done. I try to explain but they dont listen. =/

I think its because im new and they dont trust me, yet thier current IT's (one been here 20 years, other 5) manage the internet and email server (very simple thing) and it goes down daily. Family owned cooporations suck.
 
OK, The VBA-project is Locked?

Try Google:
"VBA password recovery" with seemly good results
 
Thanks for the help thusfar guys. I really appreciate it.
 
I searched for Acces VB crack, and like every varation except that, Ill keep you posted. Thanks a ton! lmao.

That's for the most Free Trials, but your boss pays? The tools aren't so very expensive I thought?
