    How to overcome a deadlock in Admin privilege

    I created a MS access database.
    I had then created a Workgroup Information File using Tools->Security->Workgroup Administrator.
    I created a password for my used id('kanagab' which is same as my windows logon id) and was using the db.

    The user id 'kanagab' was a member of 'Admins' Group and 'Users' group
    There was another user called 'admin' which was ONLY a member of 'Users' group (This is what has mislead me .. ie., I had thought 'admin'user is a member of 'Admin' group too)

    Later I wanted to remove the password for my user id 'kanagab'
    But I had accidentally deleted the user 'kanagab'. Tools->Security->User Groups and Accounts->selected the usaer name 'kanagab'->Clicked 'Delete' button

    So, now whenever I am opening my db, I am logged on as the user as 'admin' only and I do not have any run permissions.


    I am not able to change the ownership of the db back to 'kanagab' because my current id ('admin') does not have administrator previlege.

    I would really appreciate if someone help me on how to log on to my db with Admin previlege?

    (More details in the document attached)

    Thanks
    Babu

    If you want to zip up your db along with the mdw file and attach it, maybe someone here could help.
