While Access security isn't the greatest, it doesn't provide any simple
mechanism for removal without knowing the user id and password. There are,
however, 3rd parties that provide this service. Unfortunately, I don't know
the names of any of them (because, thankfully, I've never had to use them).
Try doing a Google search.

Access always creates a backup of your application before securing one. That
may be used if it is hasn't been deleted and not much is changed in the
secure file.

You have to tell it to make the backup, it isn't automatic.
