A database we use at work has suddenly stopped working. It is currently
password protected.

The correct password is entered and the following message is received:

"The database 's:\......" needs to be repaired or isn't a database file.

You or another user may have unexpectedly quit Microsoft Access while a
microsoft database was open. Do you want Microsoft to attempt to repair the
database?"

Click "yes" and it says it isn't a valid password but we know it is correct.

Help please

Try importing all of the objects into a new file whilst joined to your
custom workgroup.  Failing that I think you may have to go back to your most
recent backup.
