Remove or Change Password on database COPY using .Net application

I have a production database that is password protected. Through my
application, I want to provide the users with a COPY of this database,
including RI, without a password or at least a different password than the
production database has. Is this possible? If so, how? I am using an
Access 2000 database with Jet Engine 4.0 and Visual Studio 2005.

You should be able to create a copy and then run SQL DDL (using ADO.NET) to remove the password. See
the Share-Level Security section in the following article:

It then load those core assemblies through reflection and get some other...

Is there a way to recover a lost password in Mysql 4.1. I have seen many articles and howto's on how to kill the Mysql process and then restart using skip grant tables option.

I don't feel like changing code for every application that is using MySQL in my site. ...

Hi folks. I'm trying to change the location of the Access mdb file I connect to using OleDb and am having trouble.

Hello. I apologize if this isn't the appropriate group for this question but I was wondering if it's possible to allow regular windows domain users to change their passwords through an .asp page?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
