Separately, the phpbb password list is an excellent, small starter list - add in words related to your company, your software products, names from your employee list, etc. Just...

If you want to get into more advanced checking, I would recommend using Hashcat (http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/[/url]) against passwords extracted in bulk (i.e. multi-server query) with a rules-based dictionary attack.

The question requires you to make some assumptions (the compressed database is wholly compressed, and the data is basically the same in both databases, for instance).

Access linked tables can definitely use Windows Authentication, DSN or not. Each table in each Access DB can use its own authentication.
