Admin account

The default user account. When you install Microsoft Access, the Setup program automatically includes the Admin user account in the workgroup information file it creates. The Admin account is the same for every copy of Microsoft Access and for other applications, such as Microsoft Visual Basic, that use the Microsoft Jet database engine. By default, Microsoft Access automatically logs you on at startup using this account and gives you full permissions to database objects.
