Solution 1

Try it with:

C#

.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Data.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=♣;"

Alt+1029 is not 'converted' and should be entered as '♣'.

But Connection strings for Access[^] contains the comment

Quote Connection strings for Access[^]:
Some reports of problems with password longer than 14 characters. Also that some characters might cause trouble. If you are having problems, try change password to a short one with normal characters.

So using this special character may not work, to test you can do what remark suggest and try a simple password.
