Hi...

I maked a small database in Access and put username and password (for
example: bird and wing).

How copy this database to another computer (it can with Copy > Paste) so
that it use new username and password (for example: dog and bone)?
Can I link my database for serial number of hard disk another computer?

Thank You.
 
Did you set up the userid and password using the built-in User-level
security? Did you follow all the steps outlined in the security faq? What
happens if you try to open on another computer> Does it tell you that you
don't have access? (it should)

Your userid and password information is stored in the workgroup (mdw) file
and you will need to place that in a shared location or copy it along with
the database file. Without it, the user SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE
FILE. If they can, you need to stop and fix that issue first.

User-Level security is pretty detailed and you need to make sure to follow
all the steps carefully. Post back if you need more details.
