Need to bypass the admin-level password for user-level security

Hi all,

I am working for a company whose previous programmer
forgot the admin password for a user-level security
protected Access 97 mdb application. I can run the
application using another user's username and password,
but they do not have admin level access to it. I need to
find a way to get the admin password or bypass it so that
I can make modifications to my company's application.
Otherwise, I will have to re-write large portions of the
application. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If security was setup properly, you'll have a bit of difficulty doing this.
You can try logging in using the standard .mdw file (it's in different
locations depending on you OS and Access version), but if that doesn't work
you'll have to start importing and rewriting.
