Howdy

I have a 3000 MicroGC running on Agilent Cerity. This year for Christmas Santa left me with a corrupted database (TheDB.mdb). I was able to get into Cerity by renaming my Archive to TheDB.mdb, but my method files are old and I would still lose quite a bit of data.

So, I thought I would try to recover the data from TheDB.mdb by opening it up in Access. I open the file and it asks me for a password. I'm fairly certain this is some default password, but I can't find info for it anywhere. I called up Agilent, but this software is being used to run their old 3000 Micro GC, which was sold to Inficon, and I was told that I would have to rely on Inficon for the tech support for the software. I have a ticket open with them, but I don't have a lot of hope for a resolution since its a bit absurd to expect them to support this software, and they are a small company.

Has anyone run into this? Does anyone know the password? Or, barring going into the database directly and trying to fix the corruption, does anyone know how to bypass this corruption issue?

Thanks for reading

This is just a long shot answer but try 3000hanover

That was the default admin password on all the old Chemstation computers for a very long time.

No joy, but thanks for the attempt.

Try Agi1ent (number 1 instead the letter l)
