hi..yes you can secure it using password. goto tool options>add password. This feature is available in office 2000 and higher version. But sometime it may happen you didnt apply a password and mdb file ask for password in this secnario leads that your database is corrupt. But still you can get your original database using http://www.repair-access-file.com - access repair utility.

Access database passwords can be cracked in seconds, there are 100's of utilisties on the web for this type of thing.
If you want to have a secure database then you need to look at using SQL Server or mySQL.
Access is just a desktop database and not very good in the web environment, and with Microsoft phasing out JET driver support for Access it's days in the web environment are numbered.
