Open exclusive by user XXXX

How do you get past the message that a database is open exclusively by user
admin on machine XYZ when your computer is XYZ and you are the one trying to
open the database?

Close Access completely and try to find the {DatabaseName}.ldb (a locking
file) in the same directory with the database file. Delete this file (*make
sure* it is the ldb file) and then try opening the database again.

If you still get the same message, then it is possible that your database
file is corrupted. In this case, see Tony Toews' article:
