Remove the password from Microsoft Access file

I have an mdb file on my computer, but unfortunately I have forgotten my password, so I can not open it now.

Is there any way to remove this password or some other way to open this file?


Solution 1:

Access PassView

This utility reveals the database password of every password-protected mdb file that created with Microsoft Access 95/97/2000/XP or with Jet Database Engine 3.0/4.0 . It can be very useful if you forgot your Access Database password and you want to recover it.

Solution 2:

for old versions of Access I've had luck with this: http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/

import com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.*;  

Database db=Database.open(new File("xxxx.mdb"));  
System.out.println(db.getDatabasePassword() );
