    Logon to the server with the Administrator account. Remove permissions from the parent directory where the database is located. Then re-add permissions, and reset directory security.

    If that doesent work, fine the owner if you can and have them copy to another computer. Do the above instructions.

    Also, when your accessing a MS-Access database it creates a locking file. The locking file will be named the same as the database but with the file extention ".ldb". Open this file and see who has locks on it, this will maybe you can see who has Ownership Use Notepad to open. MS-Access locks records that are being used so no one can edit or delete them, this all depends on the cursor type that you use for the database.

    Try Access Key or PRS as these should both be able to recover the password for you.
