Clear a security account password

To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the Admins group.

1. Start Estudiante by using the shortcut key from desktop. Open a database.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click User And Group Accounts.
3. On the Users tab, enter the user account name in the Name box.
4. Click Clear Password.
5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to clear any additional passwords, and then click OK when you have finished.
6. Warning:  You must immediately assign a password for this user, otherwise anyone can sign on using the UserName with no password.  You can open another copy of Estudiante with out closing the current(Administrator) copy.
7. Sign on using the UserName that you have cleared the password for.
8. On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click User And Group Accounts.

On the Change Logon Password tab, leave the Old Password box blank if a password hasn't been defined previously for this account. Otherwise, type the current password in the Old Password box.

A password can range from 1 to 20 characters, and can include any characters except ASCII character 0 (null). Passwords are case-sensitive.

9. Retype the password in the Verify box, and then click OK.

 

Caution   You can't recover your password if you forget it, so be sure to store it in a safe place. If you forget your password, a user logged on with an administrator account (a member of the Admins group in the workgroup in which the account and password were created) must clear the password before you can log on.

 

 

 

Create or change a security account password

A security account password is created to make sure that no other user can log on using that user name. By default, Microsoft Access assigns a blank password to the Admin user account, and to any new user accounts you create in your workgroup.

1. Start Estudiante by using the shortcut key from desktop. Open a database.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click User And Group Accounts.
3. On the Change Logon Password tab, leave the Old Password box blank if a password hasn't been defined previously for this account. Otherwise, type the current password in the Old Password box.
4. Type the new password in the New Password box.

A password can range from 1 to 20 characters, and can include any characters except ASCII character 0 (null). Passwords are case-sensitive.

5. Retype the password in the Verify box, and then click OK.

Caution   You can't recover your password if you forget it, so be sure to store it in a safe place. If you forget your password, a user logged on with an administrator account (a member of the Admins group in the workgroup in which the account and password were created) must clear the password before you can log on.

 

HELP: The password I typed to open Estudiante doesn't work.

• Passwords are case-sensitive (uppercase and lowercase letters must match exactly). Check to see whether CAPS LOCK is turned on.
