    I'd say search for a similar sized file with a different name (like ZXCFGREWJW.tmp, it'll look quite arbitrary) in the same directory (make sure hidden files are shown) and temp dir, try renaming any such found file to be an accdb or mdb file and attempt to open that.

    MSysDB, I think, contains the metadata for all the tables held in the file. without that data, you can't reasonably interrogate it at all. You're then into opening the file in pure binary. Good luck with that, especially if it's encrypted.

    Try this sequence in order below or as an additional resources for restoring .mdb file see and learn following topics, and in case your corruption is severe, one more solution must assist you Access Repair Toolbox

    The repair method attempts to recover only the tables, indexes and queries in the database. Do not attempt to repair damaged forms, reports, macros and modules. Before executing the Compact and Repair tool, please ensure the following condition:

    1. Do not open Access database must closed
    2. Sufficient storage space available - minimum double in size of your Access database on that Disk.
    3. Close the .mdb file related to .ldb file before you delete the .ldb file.
    4. Then Run the Compact and Repair tool
