If you haven't altered the original system.mdw file (and I don't think you
have because reinstalling would have overwritten it and locked you out of
your databases), you need need to either join the workgroup or use a
shortcut to tell Access which workgroup to use:

"C:\Path to MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Pathto database.mdb" /wrkgrp
"C:\Pathto\Secured.mdw"
