The Access password is used only to protect the 'inside' of the database file. Since the database is just a file, it cannot protect itself from operating system operations.

However, what you can do is to set proper privileges on the file (or directory) using windows security. For example you can grant read and write but deny (or not grant) delete. This doesn't protect the contents of the file since a person with write privileges can destroy the contents but depending on your situation it may be usable.

If you don't give or deny the delete permission on the file, remember also to check if the users have "delete subfolders and files" privilege in that directory. This is because if you have that privilege it overrides the lack of a single file deletion privilege.
