If Access allowed obtaining the user's password through the programming
interface, that would be a big security hole, and Microsoft did not allow it
for that reason. If this were available, any application the user ran could
have a piece of code in it that could steal the user's password, store it
somewhere, then the programmer could use that info to gain that user's
permissions to any other (e.g. personal) Access databases.
