Recover the password from a Microsoft Access Database (mdb)
By Martin English | September 1, 2009
Today, I had to do a password recovery from a Microsoft Access 2003 Database. Obviously, my first port of call was Google where I found a free utility from NirSoft called Access PassView which worked wonderfully well.
The author of Access PassView does suggest that it has a few limitations;
- It does not work with Access 2007 (accdb) files,
- In Access 2000/2003 (aka XP), it cannot recover passwords that contains more than 18 characters,
- It’s only able to recover the main database password. It cannot recover the user-level passwords. However, it did allow me to open the file.
