bypassing password protected files

I've written an application that will read all the mdb files in a given
directory and extract connection information for each table, reading off of
the MsysObjects table. Problem: if the system hits a password protected mdb
file it waits for a password or someone to hit Cancel. Since this application
will need several hours to scan I'd like to run it after hours; obviously,
hitting a password protected file will bring the scan to a dead halt.

Is there a way to extract some property from an mdb to detect whether or not
it's password protected without attempting to open it and therefore
triggering the passord request?

TIA....
 
Microsoft Access 1997

I have a program written many years ago in Access 1997. I have tried everything to open this, but since the security is set on it, it will not open. I do not have any of the info for the security and I need to open the program. I know I was able to a few years back, but it seems no matter what I try it will not open.

My question, how to open a secure database without any of the information for the security??? Everything I read, says do this and this and open the database, but it will not because I get the error code I do not have permissions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because at this point I am ready to throw it away and start over!!!!
