Let me start by saying I did a really DUMB thing and I know it. I was messing with Access security on a database I am developing. Somehow I have turned on a feature that now requires a logon and password for all databases I try to open from my PC. The problem is, I don't have any passwords set. I can't even try to make a new database, it still wants me to logon. I have tried repairing Access and removing and re-installing Access. I have even copied a System.MDW from a different PC. No Luck. I suspect maybe there is a registry setting somewhere.... Any ideas????

OK - I figured it out myself. Tools/Security/Workgroup adminsrator. And then I joined the System.MDW that I copied from the another PC.
