Forgot the closing parentheses:
response.write ("The conn string is: " + oConnString + " <br>">)

  You need to find out the value of oConnString. Try this in your app:
  ...
  var oPass = Request.Form("pWord");

  response.write ("The conn string is: " + oConnString + " <br>">

  //Open database connection
  ...

  That will display your connection string in the browser.  Of course, it will be available to everyone who views that page.

    Searched the code for "password" and found this:

    //Retrieve username and password from previous form
    var oUser = Request.Form("uName");
    var oPass = Request.Form("pWord");

    //Open database connection
    var tblAuth = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
    var strSQL = "Select * FROM Authentication";
    oConn.Open(oConnString);
    tblAuth.Open(strSQL, oConn);

    Just below this fragment, it tries to match uName and pWord
    against the recordset, decides whether to grant or deny.

    But still puzzling me is how the ADODB recordset can be created
    without having a password to the Access database ??
