    Help in accessing a program I made 2 years ago, and have no idea what I did to make it secure.


    Like my name suggests, I screwed up, I created an office software program two years ago and I have no idea how to access it now. I created a login page, set a password, and never wrote it down. Now 2 years later, and having forgot all that I learned about access during my three months of programming, I am at a loss as to how to access my own program. (I know that I left a ...backdoor, or way to access it that could not be programmed out of the thing) I am willing to send you my file, tell you anything you need to know about it so that you can be assured that I am the owner of the file, and hopefully you can help me get back into it so that I can "relearn" how to program a new project. I am bowing to your superior intellect at this point, tell what to do and I will be happy to comply.

    Solved it myself. Sorry I was freaking out but did some reading and discovered the answer. Thanks.

    I solved my problems by doing some reading. Thanks you all for not chastising me.

    Marko,

    Do yourself and your colleagues a favor. Create some current documentation. You need something that overviews your system, what it is(purpose), who is the audience, how it fits together, and key operational info such as: backup, startup, passwords and where things are located.

    Consider yourself lucky this time.

    Does holding down the shift key while opening db allow you to get control?
