No, I'm assuming the system one is the original one which ended up being

to put in my passwords or anyone elses (I set them all up so I know
everyones). Is it possible that the two system.mdw files are conflicting
with each other which is why I can log in? I've used the same password for
myself since I set up the security but right now I can get into the database
at all.

System.mdw is the default workgroup file. When your db was secured, most likely a new workgroup file was created and
used to secure the database.

Try searching your computer for all files ending in .mdw, then try joining those workgroups and logging in. If you find
one you can use to login, then build a shortcut as described in my earlier email to access it.

Also, if your db connected to a remote datafile, the workgroup file may be on that machine as well. You might also try
searching there.
