@MariaSoledadG, thanks for replying.

You said:
QuickBooks requires password for your data security. As mentioned by @MaryJoyD, password protection is important for those users who have sensitive data. I'll make sure to pass this along to our product team to let them know of your business needs.
 
I understand, but this is not an answer to my question. I agree that the password feature is good and should be enabled by default for all users.  However, there are situations where it is unneeded, unwanted, and less secure.  For these "advanced" scenarios, power users should be able to disable it.  You could provide an undocumented entry point, similar to F2 that displays a dialog where it could be turned off after acknowledging some warnings.
 
So, I still would like a proper answer to my question:
I understand why the password is required for "normal" users, but please explain why you don't allow power users  to bypass the password requirement.
 
I'm sorry to be a pain, but I am simply seeking a more accurate response.  The generic "it protects sensitive data" canned response is not adequate.
 
Thank you.
