Administrator leaves company, No password to DB Help!!!

[lennyl]

We have an Access 97 database *.mdb with its own mdw file. The guy who developed and administered it has now left the company. It is asking for a password which we don't know. I know Access but I have not had the need to learn this one until now, does anybody know a quick way I can get into it?
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

There are utilities on the web which remove access security. Do a search on those. Or just check out these: (one is $30 shareware)
