Locked myself out of my database

I'm developing a Access Database for a Job Costing system. I have Office XP Developer, VB, and C++. I need to see my code for the database, but I cannot access it because I was working on a security screen, and perhaps we could say it is a bit secure. How do I import the code so i can read, edit, and export it? The Database is not encrypted, and is still in a mdb format.
 
XP? I'm still stuck in 97 but I suspect the story should be the same. One of the users should be the owner of the database... That user has administrative permissions to everything so you should be able to log in as that user and set permissions so you can do things.

Alternatively, if you have read permissions with one user you can import everything into a new MDB which will make you the owner in the new file and you can set permissions however you want.

If this doesn't help, the best I can suggest is go to your backup before you "secured" it.
