MS Access Forum / New Users / May 2007Password errors
I thought I was putting in a very simple password to protect my Access 2007 database. Now I can't open any database, because it won't accept the simple (4-letter) password I enter. I know it's the correct password and now I can't open ANYTHING in ACCESS. Does it say the password you are entering is wrong? If so, it is. Did you try the caps-lock key on and off? You could have mistyped a character when you set up the password. There are sites where you can download a password retrieval program. Try Google. -Dorian > I thought I was putting in a very simple password to protect my Access 2007 > database.

It says the following, "Not a valid account name or password." When I set the password (one I use often), I had to enter it twice, so it's unlikely I entered it incorrectly. And yes, I have tried the caps-lock both ways. I have tried adding spaces before and after, etc. I was shocked when I first tried it and it didn't work. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it not to work. I installed and uninstalled Access even....still the same problem. > Does it say the password you are entering is wrong? If so, it is.

It was supposed to be Admin. Thank you SO MUCH! > Does it say the password you are entering is wrong? If so, it is. Did you try > the caps-lock key on and off?
