Disable security on Access

I have a colleague who is prompted to enter a password every time he attempts to load access. I think he was playing with the security wizard and set it up by mistake. Is there a way to disable it.

Usually, I know by default is saves the information to a file and would normally create a snapshot file with the info on, but I cannot find this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
He's joined to a workgroup, and one of the user names in that workgroup has a password set up.

If he doesn't want security, run WRKGADM.EXE and make sure he is joined to "System.mdw". Then, make sure none of the users (probably only "User" and "Admin") have a password set.

That should take care of it.
 
OK - thanks for that - much appreciated Lamaar75@hotmail.com
