    Password Problem acessing Access Database

    Hey guys. I have a very small (5mb) program i made in ACESS 2003 back in 2000's.
    I made usergroups with passwords back on those days, the question is that now i can't remember any of them.



    Is it possible to reset this passwords? The program is nothing special, but i kind wanted to make it work again.
    If necessary i can post the program here, no confidential data whatsoever is inside.


    Thanks in advance,
    FFFR

    Is it possible to import objects to another db?

    Password recovery has been discussed in forum. Did you do a search?

    With all my honesty, no... i haven't done a password recovery search.
    But i am going to!

    I'm not able to import objects to another db. probably due to lack of skills

    Hey guys. Thanks for the help so far. But until now i didnt had any luck.
    I downloaded that program from nirsoft, it said to drag&drop the .mdb file onto the program... i did that but the program said i had no password on my .mdb. So maybe i'm doing something wrong.
    i uploaded the mdb to dropbox, its quite small (around 5mb). If anyone can download it and give some assistance i would be greatly appreciated.

    here's the link:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrbxka7lg7kwan3/QuotaGest.zip
    i remember the password was something like "00000" or "quotagest00000"

    Thanks in advance

    It might be possible that your password is more then 18 characters. And the program does not work on more than 18 characters in password.
    You can try Stellar Phoenix access password recovery program. It recovers forgotten password of .mdb or .accdb files created with Access 2000 and upper versions.

    Good morning! Actually my password was '00000' or '0000' i can't remember for sure but it was something like that.
    I uploaded my MDB to dropbox (it's only 5mb, so that someone could help me) and posted the URL on a previous POST but i guess it's not allowed to put links here.

    I'm gonna try that program you pointed out tanvi!
    thanks!
