MS Access Invalid password. Bug?

InoLMay 13 2011 — edited May 13 2011
I am trying to use the migration wizard for MS Access in 3.0.4. When trying to connect to a password protected mdb file I get this error

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Not a valid password

(and I am sure the password is correct, because I can connect using MSAccess with this password)

I have a strong feeling that the password is not included in the connect string, because this is what is shown in the Connection Details:

@jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=D:\Release\Release804.mdb;DriverID=22;READONLY=false}

It also looks very much like a similar bug in MySQL that I found here:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=37449

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

To add: I have used this before on a 2.something SQL Developer without problems.
For now I have removed the password in the Access database, which was a challenge by itself. After opening the database normally I didn't see any toolbars at all. Apparently you must shift-click the OK button after entering the password. Might be useful for someone else to know this.
