Access passwords are compltly useless as password recovery tools are easily available all over the Internet.

A better solution is to follow the install instructions to place your database out side of the root of your web site where it is not accesible through HTTP.

The passwords in the database are already 160 bit one way ecrypted which is better protection than password protecting the access database which would not be encrypted.
