Default Why cant I repair and compact my database?

An error message is given: "You attempted to open a
database that is already opened exclusively by
user 'myAdmin' on machine 'SNGDH25LH31S'. Try again when
the database is available."

BUT User 'myAdmin' is myself and on
verification, 'SNGDH25LH31S' is the machine that I was
using.

I will appreciate any help...

Regards
Joshua Foo

Try getting out of the database, then see if there is a locking file
(yourfilename.ldb) still there, with no one else in the database at that
time. If so delete it, then try again.

Look at the permissions and security to see if the user has permission to
work with the database.
