But do you know, in which format MS Access stores all your data?

Its MDB files. MDB file is one of the most important data in your MS Access database as it stores and saves all your data. And that is why many users try to password protect it to secure it from breaching. All though doing it may lead to some serious repercussions.

One of the most faced issues is losing your password or forgetting it.
