    Unhappy Forgot Password

    Hi,

    I have a 2007 Access database that is password protected. After a month of not using it, I tried using it today but I'm having a hard time to get in and it says I'm putting a wrong password. Is there a way to reset it or retrieve the password?

    Thanks,


    netchie

    There is no way of resetting a password for a password protected database. That is why passwords are set. I have seen third party password recovery apps in the internet; you might give those a try

    Hi netchie, Yes you can recover your password. For this you need to take help of Access password recovery software. Few days back I also faced the same situation and used Stellar Phoenix Access password recovery software and got my password back.
