How to know the login password ?

Dear all,

My application uses MDW file for security.
Is there any function to know the login password, like CurrentUser to know
the login name ?
Thanks.

I get a problem by using MDW file. I have a default user with a default
password for the first installation.
The IT Admin saves the original MDW file. Then the user changes password for
the default user.
But the IT Admin can use the original MDW file to open the application.
How should I protect the app ?
Thanks.

If you can't trust your IT Admin, then you probably should consider
replacing him/her.

I have a little tool that is capable of reading all the user names and
passwords from any MDW file. If your untrustworthy IT admin is any good,
and if he could be bothered, he could easily find that tool too.

Access security is poor, if you need to protect against IT-literate people
you will need to change to SQL Server.

There is no good security method for Access. Many know how to crack it.
The only good security is to change to a server back-end such as SQL Server
or Oracle.
