	If anybody loses their password and they use version7 they should add a new user with a password that you know. Then open the database and go to TLBAUTHOR table. Find the new user you added and copy the PASSWORD and then the SALT of the new user and past them where the current password and salt is for Administrator. If you copy just the encrypted password it will not work. You must copy that password and the salt. Hopes this helps someone as my Administrave password became corrupted when I upgraded to 7.

	That is the problem with Access, there is pretty much no way to 100% secure it. With SQL you can make the password field a binary which gives it some additional safety. Not having looked at the hash code to much, there should be a way of altering the salt value to a checksum of other values that would only work with the userid the user has. this way the salt would be explicit for a userid thus you would need to get the userid before actually entering those fields.
