Locked out of my own v7 DB !!!

I had just finished importing and then entering some more records in a newly setup flat file in FMP7 on MacOS X 10.4.2; then I proceeded to specify a password and closed the file. Tried to open it straight away to test the password and... wonder of wonders: the DB won't open again!

Could it be something related to the way FMP7 now has a User name as well a Password field?

I know the password, I put it in correctly both when I set it and when I tried to reopen the file!

Thanks, people.

Solved:

Instead of my REAL first name, FMP7 had auto-entered 'Admin' for the User Account.

I happened to notice this when I created a new flat file, for troubleshooting purposes, and then proceeded to create a password. I saw the auto-entered User Account was set to 'Admin' and I suspected that this is what had happened with my other db file.

I was right....

Hope this may come in handy for someone out there....
