Access Prompts to enter password when trying to Compact/Repair DB
It's me again with another possible MS Access bug! This issue: MS Access asks for my database password when I go to compact/repair. I enter the password correctly and it doesn't take it.. What ...
When and how are you attempting to compact and repair this accdb?
Did this happen previously with the same accdb? Or was there a time when the compact and repair completed after you supplied the password?
Where is the accdb located? In a local folder or on a LAN? Is it in a Trusted Location?

- Never happened before. First time seeing this. The accdb file is located locally on my PC.
You can check the list here. It is depressingly long. I am not sure I specifically see your problem there, but with so many recent bugs, it does bear thinking about.
You could try removing the password temporarily to see if the C& R completes without it.
I'll also share this with others who might have related info.
