Recently, I set up a database with an admin password.
However, something has occured that I can no longer get
into the database with the password.

It has not only affected the database that I programmed,
it has affected every database that I have been working
on. I cannot even open Microsoft access without the admin
logon.

The best part of all of this is that the login will not
accept my password.

What can I do?

Are you sure you are typing the correct password? (they are case sensitive)

The default workgroup you are joined to has a password set for the Admin
user. Use the Workgroup Administrator (Tools, security menu) to rejoin the
standard mdw that ships with Access - system.mdw. It's usually in the
windows system folder (maybe search for it first).
