Hi there, Irene. Let's fix the program issues that prevent you from entering your password. We can use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to troubleshoot this.  

 

If you're unable to enter your password, we can utilize the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Ensure first that your QuickBooks Desktop is updated to the latest release, and create a backup file of your company to prevent any potential losses due to unforeseen circumstances. 

 

To begin troubleshooting, follow these steps:

 

  1. Close your QuickBooks Desktop, then download the recent version (1.6.0.3) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Please save it in an easily accessible location and open it (QuickBooksToolHub.exe). Follow the on-screen instructions to install it, agreeing to the terms and conditions.
  3. Once complete, you can access the tool hub by double-clicking the icon on your Windows desktop

 

Afterward, proceed to these steps to run a quick repair on your program:

 

  1. Choose Program Problems in the tool hub.
  2. Select Quick Fix My Program.
  3. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

If the same thing happens after taking the troubleshooting steps, I recommend contacting our technical support. Our team of experts can arrange a screen-sharing session to investigate what's causing this and provide solutions.

 

If you forget your password, you can reset it. Here's how:

 

  1. Open your desktop file, then click the I forgot my password.
  2. Select your recipient. You will receive a code at your registered email address.
  3. Obtain it and enter it back into the program. QuickBooks will then guide you through creating a new admin password.
