Question QUESTION: I am using ms access 2007 and while I want to open any file or even creating new databases, the program asks me for a user name and a password. I remember them but it doesn't accept them. How can I solve it?
ANSWER: Are you using MDB or accdb files? Security doesn't work with ACCDB files, so if you are using that I'm not sure what password it could be asking for. Try totally uninstalling Access and reinstalling.

QUESTION: I am using ACCDB. I uninstalled access and reinstalled it. I even removed all the application data, but after it, access asks for the password.
Exactly, in a "log on" window, it asks for a "name" and a "password" and when I enter my name and password this error appears: "Not a valid name or password"!
ANSWER: When does this occur? When loading Access or loading a specific file? If its the latter it sounds like a login coded into that database.

QUESTION: It's when loading Access
Answer I just double checked and I can't see anything that would require a login when just loading Access. I would try holding down the Shift key as you open Access. It may be automatically loading a database.
