Look for the database file library.mdb.

Then you’ll need to open ODBC Data source Administrator(32/64-bit):

1. Under User DSN add a new MS Access Database then select a drive from the options with title Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)
2. Now click finish and you will see a pop up with title ODBC Micrososft access setup
3. Click the select button and navigate to the library.mdb file from the project repository and select it.
4. Click ok and finish the set-up.
5. Now you are good to go.

How it Works

Just double click on the library.jar to launch the application. Add the user and passwords by modifying the database file library.mdb. Password for the file is “akshay”.
