When working with an ms-access database (.accdb) to change the database password afterwards the connection (OleDb) failed. Seems newer versions of ms-access changed the encryption method which does not work across 32 and 64bit data providers.
In the past I would create a new database and import the data from the original database (.accdb) in which this time failed on two different machines, one Windows 7, one Windows 10.
So I wanted to pass on the following to remedy this issue but there is always the chance it's a data provider issue between 32 and 64 bit.
