Cannot Remove Password From Accdb Database

Access 2007
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I created an accdb database and encrypted it with a password. Now I want to remove the password.
I opened the database exclusively and entered the password. The help instructions say:
2.On the Database Tools tab, in the Database Tools group, click Decrypt Database.
The Unset Database Password dialog box appears.
Unfortunate, the Database Tools group is displaying "Encrypt with Password" and clicking on that brings up the Set Database Password dialog box not the Unset Database Password dialog box.
Is this a known bug?
There is also an Encode/Decode Database in the Database Tools group but there does not appear to be anything in the help information about it.
Decode Database results in a not found response and Encode Database retunrs a link to Encrypt a database by using a database password which refers to the "Encrypt with Password" section of the documentation which refers to "Encrypt with Password" in the Databse
Tools group.
The only way it appears you can remove a password is to create a new unprotected database and import everything from the old one it. Unfortunately, that leaves behind things like the layout of the Relationships window, all property settings, etc.

Hi There,
Sorry for the late response.
I think I have a solution to your issue. I poretty much had the same condition when trying to remove a password. I logged on in EXCLUSIVE mode multiple time and each time I would see the ENCRYPT with Password instead of the "DECRYPT...."
I believe my password contained a few special characters that may have caused the problem with corruption because I also noticed that whenever I tried to COMPACT & REPAIR it would not accept my password that I logged on with. That's why I
figured there is either a bug or corruption.
In either case follow these steps and you should be able to resolve without re-building and importing/exporting objects:
=================================================
If you try changing the database password by
1. Open exclusive mode
2. Click info
3. If the Decruypt button appears then click and change the password.
If not try below
It is possible to remove the password as follows:
Again open Access database in EXCLUSIVE mode
Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window in the Visual Basic Editor. (With MS Access )
Type or copy/paste the following line:
Code:
a) CurrentDb.NewPassword
"enter old password", ""
With the insertion point anywhere in the line, press <Enter.>
Examples
1. Remove the password assume the current password is : SnowFlake123
CurrentDb.NewPassword "SnowFlake123", ""
2. Change the password to SpringWater123” assume the current password is : SnowFlake123
CurrentDb.NewPassword "SnowFlake123", "SpringWater123"
================================================
This worked for me. I used option 1 and removed the password. Then compact and repaired.
Restarted without the password and then ENCRYPTED with PASSWORD. I used a password with upper, lower case and numbers. No special characters.
I tried to follow the steps to remove the passowrd and now my "DECRYPT...." shows up under file, info.

Local Users (belongs to domain) on ISE cannot derive Password from Windows Database

Dear Support Team
We are in the progress of Migrating ACS4.2 to ISE3355 running 1.1.4. We have SSL VPN Users & Wireless Users to be migrated.
ISE 1.1.4 is already integrated with AD Windows 2008 and can see all the groups defined on AD.
1: in ACS 4.x & even 5.x, we have option to add a user locally (users belonging to domain) , and we can configure user’s password to be derived from Windows Database. It helps to control AAA Policies.
It also helps to avoid configuring "users" in specific groups on AD and as a result no dependency on System Team to configure users in specific groups, which can be used in policy making on ISE.
However while doing the same, I could not find an option in ISE 1.1.4. Password cannot be derived from windows database. Password has to be set manually, that clearly means that i have to arrange the users in specific group on AD.
Is it a platform specific issue or am I missing something ?
Thanks in advance for your valuable time to look into this issue.
Ahad....

It seems that i have to open a TAC case to get cisco official explanation on this feature, it was a nice feature, which has been unnecessarily deprecated.
Any Inputs from anyone, who has similiar requirement, Please share it here.

Removing password from mirror database user causes connection problems

Using Crystal Reports 2008, I have 2 Sybase databases connected to a single server, one is the original database used by my app, the other is a mirror that I want to run reports against.
If I add a new user to both databases, I can connect to the mirror via an OLE DB connection without a problem.
However, to prevent users from connecting to and running reports against the main database, I've changed the user so that they have a password in the mirror database, but not in the main database.
The problem is, after making this change, when I try to connect to the mirror database I get an "Invalid user ID or password" error.
I can connect to the mirror database as this user from other applications, it only seems to be Crystal Reports that has the problem.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something stupid?! Any help greatly appreciated!
Ian

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Remove password from PDF with Reader 9.0?

Hi,
We would like to know if a user opens a protected PDF (with 128/256 bits encryption) in Acrobat Reader 9.0,
can the user save a copy of the protected PDF and the new PDF is no longer password protected.
That means I would like to check if the reader 9.0 can allow user to remove the password (Of course, permission
should be granted when creating the protected PDF in Acrobat 9.0) from the protected PDF file.
Thanks for your attention in advance,
Raymond

Reader cannot remove password protection. It only reads files.

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on yoru phone from an old ID ("email address") to your current ID, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can i remove password from my I Pod

how can i remove password from my I Pod

If you mean you can't get past the screen lock then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Removing record from secondary database

I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from my dock. Don't know if this has anything to do with it or not. I have moved it up the screen and held it and still returns to the dock. What now?

I do not know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I just recalibrated my battery and now cannot remove anything from the dock. I have moved it half way up and held it and it just goes back to the dock. Will not let me even put it in the trash. I am new to the macbook so would you please help me?

There is NO calibration on a modern macbook
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and are not to be calibrated
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery.

I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription?

I cannot remove songs from iCloud - how can I do it without paying for iTune match subscription? Different answers in this forum make it iTune match enabled. But enabling iTune match cost me $24. Help please.

You are correct, you cannot delete songs from iTunes in the Cloud. This is where all of your purchases are permanently stored so if you want to re-download something you can. Sometimes purchases will no longer be available, if the merchant pulls them from the iTunes store, but for the most part, all of your past purchases will remain in iTunes in the Cloud.
This has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes Match.
What is the issue you are experiencing?

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I deleted the password from the view password window.

The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

P6 Analytics - cannot load data from STAR database in BI EE

Hi.
We have successfully deployed OBI EE 11g and STAR database (RDB 3.1), ETL processes have also run succesfully. But we cannot access data from the Analytics in a very strange way: we can get information on EPS and WBS, but cannot get projects or activitites data. It doesn't show any errors, it just returns empty replies (including replies on SQL-queries in Administration->SQL). I have cleaned the cache (call SAPurgeAllCache()) and reloaded metadata. I've checked the STAR db - all the data is ok.

Check in P6 application that you have given access to P6 Analytics module to the application user. If not give that and rerun Global Schedule services followed by ETL process.
This appears to be related to security but I might be wrong.
