An employee left and now we need to get into an access database. He set a password on the database and I only see the .mdb file.

If you are talking about the Database password (no user name is asked for - only a password) and not the Workgroup password then:

You can do search in msn.com on:
Password and Recovery and (ms or microsoft) and access

or got to:
http://www.lostpassword.com/access.htm
(remove any spaces in the URL)

If a password AND user name is asked for then try replacing the System.Mdw with an original one (first make a back up)
