Password removal Access

Hello,

I took over the work of a former colleague regarding several databases. The issue I'm facing is that at the startup of each database, it asks me for a username and password (which I know).

I would like to remove this authentication, but I don't know how to do it. This would allow me to move the files to another workstation; when I perform this operation, it doesn't ask me to authenticate, making it impossible to do the updates. Could someone provide me with the steps to perform this operation? Either to remove access rights or which file (containing the authentication) I also need to move.

If possible, I prefer the second solution, moving the file containing the security.

Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    I assume that this authentication is done by VBA code in the database. If that’s the case, we need to examine this code to understand either how to disable it or how to get it to function after transferring it to another workstation.
