anybody got any passsword recovery software for an old access 2.0 database i made years ago, i added a system password to protect the back end, but i have forgot it

 

There's loads of programs, pick one and download from Bittorrent, etc

 

I have so many rainbird jokes flying through my head, make it stop

 

I think its easily done in a hex editior.

send us the file if you want mate and ill have a go!

 

hex is EVIL!

and fooking pointless

i can't see ANY advantage in counting in hex over just counting in 8bit binary (and ofcourse representing that information as a number from 0-255)

 

fuck me Jim you've turned in to this : -

 

i speak fluent geek mate

 

Because writing f00c0ff is quicker and more meaningful than 1111000000001100000011111111.

Two useful utils are Advanced Office Password Recovery and Advanced Office Password Breaker. Do a Google on them.

 

fook me Ben thats a geeek joke,

 

wicked, cheers guys,

 

I only say hex editior cause I know roughly where to go straight for the password and change it to a load of 0000000

 

turns out, its not the actual database that is password protected from opening, it used a authentication that used the user id of whoever was signed on the computer, as this is something we found on an old windows 95 machine, we cant plug in on our current win2K network and sign on,
i think that it needs the security bypassing to allow us back in fully again, to remove users and guests etc and leave the admin account in the database in all the other groups so it can be opened. - - i think
