Password HELP!!!!!!!

While experimenting with security settings (I generally
work alone and don't use them) I managed to set a database
logon password. I thought I was just working with a copy
of an extra database so I couldn't screw anything up, but
this was obviously a global setting. Now I can't open any
database without being prompted for a password, and the
one I thought I entered doesn't work! I even tried
removing and reinstalling Office XP with no result. What
can I do? I currently am helpless to use Access at all!

Are you being prompted for a UserName AND Password, or just a password? I'm
guessing it is the first case since you are getting the prompt for all
databases. If that's the case, then, what you THINK you entered as a
password isn't actuallly password. Try putting in the user name and leaving
the password field blank.

The password dialog box comes up with my account name
already entered and the password space blank. The funny
thing is, I can log off of Windows, log onto another
administrative account, and then am able to open databases
without being prompted for a password at all. The problem
is somehow linked to my specific user account, even though
this account has full administrative rights.

Thanks for yhe help...I solved the problem using advice
from another forum to rejoin the original system workgroup
I had inadvertantly left when I ran the security wizard.
