Admin rights on Access 2000 db

I have been assigned the task of updating a table on a cranky old Access 2000 database that has an Admin password. The person who created the database, way back when, doesn't remember the password.
Everything I try just gets me the you are not allowed to make changes to the structure blah blah blah.
Is there anything I can do to take control of the database? If I had full control of the file would that help?

I understand about this "straddling" the fence. If I could find a service that would be great. I'm really stuck here.
all you need is a credit card and a search engine

This can be closed. Problem was that the db is an old Access 97 one and I was opening it in 2000. Once I opened it in 97, I was able to make changes.
