I have an installation of MS Access with Office 2003 Enterprise and each time
I try to open an existing or even a new database, I am asked for the Admin
password. I do not recall ever setting one for Admin and have tried all
passwords I typically use.

I am the only one who uses the machine it is installed on so not sure how
this happened.

I've tried to uninstall and install MS Access but that didn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can resolve this?
 
Assuming you are joined to the default SYSTEM.MDW workgroup which ships with
Access, it would seem that you have added a password to the admin user.
Close Access and delete SYSTEM.MDW when you reopen the application, Access
will create a new "fresh" SYSTEM.MDW workgroup with no passwords.

If you are joined to another workgroup, then simply rejoin the default
SYSTEM.MDW.
