Is it a VB or VB.NET program that you've written? And how are you connecting the database?
This might be of some help.

I presume this is a VB.NET program? Must have been created in Visual Studio? If so, there should be a Server Explorer. Go to View> Server Explorer or CTRL W, then L.
Right click on Data Connections. Then click Add Connection. Click the correct db type. You'll then see a setup window where you can input a username and password to connect to the database file. You can save the password and also test the connection to make sure it works.
