AFAIK it can't be done automatically with Access security features, but if a username/password has been added/changed then it
could have been done within code if the database has VB code associated with it

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnacc2k2/html/odc_acsecurity.asp explains how.

The error message doesn't sound like a MS one either, so again it's probably generated within code
