You can hold down the shiftkey while opening it, unless the shiftkey bypass
has been disabled. You can try to re-enable it using the code at

and

If that gets you in the database, you can go to Tools, Options, and put a
check beside 'show hidden objects'. However, since it's a MDE you won't be
able to open forms/reports in design view, or see the code.
