Based on an email, Milind found in the starting folder for dBASE the file DBSYSTEM.DB, renamed it, and is now able to start dBASE back up again. Suggestion folks, be careful with the security system in dBASE, you can encrypt your tables by accident if you're not careful, and if you then do something like delete "DBSYSTEM.DB" you may not be able to use them again. If you want to look at the security built-in to dBASE, back up your tables first.
