Every database or just one? Can you share a screenshot? Do you have a backup?

Hi @Michelle Johnson

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Forum. 

To better assist you, could you please help clarify a few details: 

-What is the file type you are trying to open (.accdb or .mdb)? 

-Was this file created by you, or did you receive it from someone else? 

-Which version of Microsoft Access are you currently using? 

-Does this issue occur with one specific file or with all Access files on your device? 

If possible, please share a screenshot of the message or dialog box where Access asks for the password. (with any personal information removed).
