There are utilities to break this security: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dbpwsniffer.html
So I wouldn't trust an access password to protect your data.
We store the data in SQL server and use SQL Native encryption which relies on NTFS authentication to decrypt.

The cited URL for the so-called "Database Password Sleuth" is limited to "Access 95/97/2000/2002". Not sure why A2003 is omitted, but certainly A2007 is omitted because the database password encryption was strengthened big time in A2007. But I have heard that there's enough information stored in the file header to crack it. In my opinion, the database password serves no purpose whatsoever except to give people a completely false sense of security. Mar 1, 2010 at 23:43
