MS Access Forum / Security / August 2004Correcting incorrect user name/password
I have an Access 97 address database for my own use on my own computer. I have always been able to access it okay, but now I am asked for a user name and password. I tried entering a user name and password (using Tools), but apparently not correctly. When I try to open Access now, after entering my name/password in the pop-up window, I get Error 3029 "Not a valid account name or password." The help options are no help at all; i.e., I can no longer open Access at all. I tried restoring (Windows ME Help and Support) to an earlier time. That did not help either. Can someone tell me how I can access my database at this point? I badly need to get information out of it soon. Max > I have an Access 97 address database for my own use on my > own computer.

Use Start, Run, wrkgadm.exe - that will show you the workgroup you currently joined to by default. Click on Join and join the standard system.mdw that ships with Access. It usually is located in the windows system folder. If you only find one mdw in the first step,post back.  SignatureJoan Wild Microsoft Access MVP This reply email of yours is not deliverable. Can I send you the files on CD? I am not able to zip and send.

Reply to the newsgroup. Sending me your files will not help as you need to change settings on your computer. Did you try the steps I outlined?
