It's difficult to protect a MS-Access database. Try to use a sql database, you can grant access via user or roles.

C#

var dbe = new DBEngine();
var databaseFile = @"C:\Users\x339\Documents\Test.accdb";
var password = "abc123";
Database db = dbe.OpenDatabase(databaseFile, False, False, string.Format("MS Access;PWD={0}", password));
