I have a database I created... I would like to remove the
security from it so another person can have full rights to
it. Is there a way to do this.
The security is set up through a workgroup information
file.
 
There are steps outlined in the security FAQ to unsecure a database.

Essentially, you login in as a member of the Admins group, give the User's
group full permissions to all objects in the database. Close Access and
reopen it using the standard system.mdw workgroup. Create a new database
and import all objects from the old.
