Change password for a user in secured.mdw file - ms-access-2016

Question

I'm supporting a lot of old Access Reports and one of the reports authenticates its users against a Microsoft Access Workgroup Information file (Secured.mdw file).
Now, one of the users forgot his password and I need to reset it for him.
I'm not the creator of that Secured.mdw file but I can open it and view the users.
This is what I've tried so far:
Step 1:
Opened the database by double clicking the Secured.mdw file
Step 2:
Viewed the Users. (For eg: I want to change password for user: bandaj1)
Step 3:
File -> Users and Permissions -> User and Group Accounts
Step 4:
I can't locate bandaj1 user. In fact, I can't locate any user other than admin user. 😩
Am I even heading in the right direction?
Please suggest on how to go about changing password for users in Access Workgroup Information file.

Answer 1

I finally figured this out. The part that I was missing was that I had to specify which database to open with this .mdw file
Step 1:
Open the MyApp.mdb database using the .mdw file using this command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.mdb" /WRKGRP "C:\Program Files\MyApp\Secured.mdw"
Step 2:
Log in using Admin credentials:
Step 3:
File --> Users and Permissions --> User and Group Accounts
Step 4:
Find the user whose password you want to reset. For eg: I'm going with bandaj1 here.
Now hit Clear Password button.
Click Ok and close the file.
Step 5:
Tell bandaj1 user to login without a password and tell them to set their own password.
Step 6:
bandaj1 user logs in successfully without a password now:
Step 7:
bandaj1 user goes to File --> Users and Permissions --> User and Group Accounts to setup a new password.
Step 8:
bandaj1 user selects Change Logon Password tab. And sets a new password:
bandaj1 user hits Apply and Ok to close the widow.
Step 9:
bandaj1 user's password is successfully reset, and he'll use the password he set in Step 8 to log in next time.
