Axent's latest release of its ESM product was redesigned and supposedly
revamped around it's new "Management Console". The new management console
is based on an underlying Access Database. The console is password
protected each time the application is launched. However, when the user
wants to change the console password, the next time the application is
launched the database is inaccessible because the code does not update the
password on the database file. It is reported that contact of Axent
resulted in being told to launch the MS Access DB file and disable password
checking.
