Access 2007 "compact and repair" asking passwordHi all,
I have a database in Access 2007 format, with a password. Usually after I open and modify the database, I do "compact and repair" to reduce database size without any problem. But last time when I did compacting, database asked me for password. Even though I input correct password, it showed "not a valid password" and won't compact database. More strangely, when I open database exclusively to remove password, it shows "Encrypt with Password" which should be "Decrypt Database" under "Database Tools" tab. So I can't remove or change the password. I don't know what is wrong here. It is appreciated if anyone could help! Thanks!!! wand Hello - I have the EXACT same problem and have been searching for a
resolution on this for quite some time. If anyone has some suggestions that would be extremely helpful! Thanks!!!

tell was the file was corrupt. They told me they created a new databse and imported the tables/queries/forms/reports from my corrupt databse and everything appeared to reset. I have been using the new database for a few days now and am able to compact & repair and reset my password. Hope this helps you!
