    The solution is incredibly simple, as will be this article. Unlock MDB does exactly what the name says – unlock protected MDB files of MS Access database. The program recovers MDB passwords for the MS Access documents the trick to unlocking the hold on the MDB file is to simply throw it a query that will cause an error. The easiest way to do that is to attempt a select from a table that doesn't exist.

    Unlock MDB - Access Password Recovery program can do the following:

    *Recover lost Access database passwords
    *Copy the recovered password in a clipboard.
    *Recover access password instantly.
    *Recover multilingual passwords.
    *Unlock & unprotect protected .mdb files of MS Access

The easiest way to do that is to attempt a select from a table that doesn't exist. Code like this should do the trick (unless you're really strange and actually have a table named "whereveryoucanfindthem" and a field named "cutemeerkats").

      <cfquery name="unlockmdb" datasource="dbnamegoeshere">
      SELECT cutemeerkats
      FROM whereveryoucanfindthem
      </cfquery>

      Place this snippet into a file (I call mine die.cfm), and then run it whenever you need to unlock the database. It could even be extended to accept a datasource name via the query string and unlock any database on your machine, but I'll leave that to anyone who wants to try it as an experiment (my goal here is for simplicity).

        As a ColdFusion newbie about a year ago, I can distinctly recall the frustration of dealing with Microsoft Access database files which had been "locked" by the ColdFusion Application Server accessing them. I can remember being unable to delete or overwrite older database files, and trying stupid workarounds like uploading newly named databases (and having to change the resulting ODBC System DSN).

            If you have a Microsoft Access database that you want to access but the password is locked, there is a way to open it.

            1. You will need the password.

            2. Open the database in Microsoft Access.

            3. Select File > Open and locate the MDB file you want to open.

            4. Please select it and click Open. Finally, Enter the password you obtained from the database owner and click OK.
