Locked out of my access database

I've just encrypted my database using the one-step security
wizard in Access 2000. I had previously set up an admin
password. Now Access won't me or any user login. The loss
will be horific if it can't be unlocked. Anyone know how I
can regain access to Acess.
 
Thanks,

I tried this but it didn't work.

It seems there is only one valid login/pw but that user
(Admin) has no permissions to use the database.

Go figure. This will set our data entry back about 30
days. Not to mention other work done on the database interface.
 
Don't give up just yet. The 2000 wizard doesn't do the job properly.

Try rejoining your default system.mdw (use Start, Run, wrkgadm.exe). It's
usually located in the windows system folder.

Create a new database and import all the objects from the 'secure' database.
