Access 2000 password removal

HELP!!!!
I'm trying to get into my access database and it will not
accept my password. This blasted program has taken over
all of my Access databases. Does anyone know of a way
around this or how to delete the password. Every time I
try to open ANY database it asks for a password. PLEASE
help.

Hi Randy,

If it's asking you for every database, then it must be asking for
username/password and not just the password (two different things).

Do a search on your computer for *.mdw - you should have more than one and
one of them is in the windows system folder.

Use Start, Run, wrkgadm.exe (note the path to the mdw you are currently
joined to - hopefully it isn't the one in the system folder), and click
Join. Locate the system.mdw workgorup in the system folder.

If you only have one mdw file, or you are already joined to system.mdw in
the system folder, try copying system.mdw from another computer.
