in Data Link Properties

Click "All" Tab
then look for "Jet OLEDB:Database Password"
then click "Edit Value"

and there is a small window pops up
then in under "Property Value"
type the password of your database
then click "OK"

And here is another method of connecting to DB using ADODB connection using code.

Public Sub ConnectToDB()
    Dim CON As ADODB.Connection
    Dim CMD As ADODB.Command
    Dim conString As String
    
        conString = "DBQ=" & App.Path & "\Database.mdb" & "; Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
    Set CON = New ADODB.Connection
    With CON
        .ConnectionString = conString
        .Open , "Admin", "yourDBpassword"
    End With

End Sub

Public Sub DisconnectFromDB()

    Set CMD = Nothing
    
    CON.Close
    Set CON = Nothing

End Sub

ConnectToDB will connect to your database and DisconnectFromDB will disconnect it.
Thanks
