The only way to do it (that I know of) is to export your modules from inside that application, and of course you'd need
the password to do this. I'm sure there are some VBA password crack programs out there, but I've never looked for one
because I don't use the VBA password.

I found 1 vba crack password program but it expose 2 characters (thats fine)
but it is like ACSII character which i never key in before. Anyway to reset

Only from inside the VBA project. Tools - <db name> Properties, Protection tab allows you to enter and verify a
password. I'd assume you could reset the password there, but don't really know as I've never tried it.

As Gunny said, there are plenty of password crackers that can do this, or just recode it. Your code isn't going to port
directly over to VB anyway, and you often have as hard a time modifying the code as you do just rewriting it.

Hi, Daniel.

If there were, everyone would use that method to bypass the VBA password.
It wouldn't be very secure, now would it?

You won't be able to transfer the VBA project to another database without
the password.  If you can't remember it or find it, then you'll have to
resort to a backup that doesn't have the VBA password assigned, or get a
tool that reads the password, or hire someone who knows how to read the
password for you.  Or else you can start recoding.  The second time around
is usually faster than the first, and the code is usually written better the
second time because previous mistakes are (usually) avoided.

HTH.

There are no professional tools to read passwords that I know reliably of, and
even if you could, Access VBA code cannot be transferred to VB without it
having to be majorly rewritten.

There are some programs which claim to do a partial conversion of Access to
Visual Basic. This is separate from having the required passwords of course.

It would assist the answer, if you said exactly what it was you wanted to
achieve and why. No professional developer forgets their own passwords! (EVEN
WHEN DECEASED)

If it is just the password you lost, it may be possible to take it to a
professional database recovery outfit. They usually recover corrupted
databases, not passwords, but it's the best I can think of at the moment.

For an example:
