Removing password protection from database.

I created a database using the Database Interface Wizard. I selected to use
password protection and now I would like to remove the protection completely.
How can I do this without creating a new database.
 
My guess is that it's stored in the global.asa - look for these lines:

Application("evaldbc_RuntimeUserName") = ""
Application("evaldbc_RuntimePassword") = ""

Yours probably has the username and password in there.

I know where the password and sign-on name is but removing them does not
help. Under interface/results/editor there are three files, login.asa,
login.asp, and login-validate.asp. The password and sign-on name is listed
under the login.asa, but removing it just brings up the error page. The
global.asp does not show any password.
 
%>
<!--#include File='login.asa'-->
<%
If Session(SiteID) <> true Then
Response.Redirect("Login.asp?requester=submission_form.asp")
End If
%>


<% Response.Buffer = True %>

This is what is inserted prior to the <html> tag. This appears in the
submission_data.asp page, the database_editor.asp page, as well as a few
other pages listed under the editor folder.
 
The password protection is actually applied to the Access DB created
-all the .asa files do is store the credentials to log you into the DB
Export the DB to your desktop and open it in Access
- you will need to enter the credentials
Remove the password in Tools Security

Delete these lines from the page, and all other pages associated with
the page.
This Login does not affect the database, it only protects the ASP
pages used to maintain it.
<!--#include File='login.asa'-->
<%
If Session(SiteID) <> true Then
Response.Redirect("Login.asp?requester=submission_form.asp")
End If
%>

Do not delete anything before this, or after.
