I'm having a real problem here, im trying to edit a database within Smart Pix Manager but it is locked with a password...I have never set a password on this database but it seems to think I have. Is there anyway around this at all? I have nearly 30 databases and all are read only!

Any help would be seriously appreciated.

Hi

Check the permissions on the files/folders where the database is stored to ensure they are not read-only:

1. Open "File Explorer" in your start menu
2. Browse to the folder where your database is stored
3. Right-click the folder and choose "Properties"
4. Uncheck the "Read-only" box
5. Click OK
6. Select "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files
7. Click OK
