Edit: as pointed out, for access OleDbConnection should be used, not SqlConnection...

you can use a much more compact way and also be sure connection is closed and disposed in any possible case even when exceptions are thrown, by using the using statements:

your query text was also, probably wrong as others have suggested...

using (var conn = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\BC207\test.accdb"))
using (var comm = conn.CreateCommand())
{
    comm.CommandText = "SELECT password FROM HAHA";
    comm.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

    conn.Open();

    var returnValue = comm.ExecuteScalar();

    MessageBox.Show(returnValue.ToString());
}

Edit: are you sure the table HAHA only contains one row? Because the ExecuteScalar returns only one value, if you want to get 1 column but from many records you could use a DataReader or a DataSet...
