If you don't know the password, and it is properly secured, then there is
not much you can do. Try joining your default workgroup and see if it will
open. If not you will need to pay for a "cracker" utility or service.
There is no magical back door to get into a properly secured database. If
there were, what good would the security features be?

<shrug> Join the MDW. Log on as a user with Adminstrative privileges
to the database. Reset the security so that the user Admin has full
privileges and no password.

If you can't do this... you're stuck. That's why the security is
there, to keep people who don't have the password OUT.
