Why does my db forget the password?

I created a nice neat little database and created a single password for it through the Tools > Security > Set Database Password menu option. I entered the password twice to veryify it, and did everything I was suppose to.

I compacted the database, closed it, and made a copy that I transferred to another computer.

The deal is: I tried to open the database on the new computer and when I entered the password, Access told me that I had entered an invlid password. I tried again and again to make sure I wasn't entering a letter slightly different, but that wasn't the problem. In addition, I have now gone back to the original computer with the database on it and tried to open it and I'm having the same problem. I have essentially locked myself out of the database.

Any suggestions?
