Accountants copy password

Gave the accountant his copy on a flash drive and he can’t get into it. I can’t remember the password and was wondering if there were somewhere in QuickBooks that I could find it. Any help would be wonderful.

Accountants copy password

Let me provide some information about the Accountant's Copy password, @Friscrapper.

 

We don't store your password, and we're unable to find it anywhere in your QuickBooks Desktop company file. Since you forgot the password, we can reset the  Accountant's Copy password using the Automated Password Reset Tool. By default, it displays working company files (with the file extension .QBW).

 

First, download the Automated password tool for QuickBooks Desktop and make sure to select your version of QuickBooks Desktop. Please refer to this article for more details: Use the Automated Password Reset Tool.

 

Then, follow these steps to reset the password for the accountants copy:

 

  1. Enter *.* in the File Name field to view all files in the selected directory.
  2. Select the Accountant's Copy (.QBA) file.

    File name field to change in the Automated Password Reset Tool to include Accountant's Copy in QuickBooks Desktop
  3. Enter and confirm your New Password and select Reset Password to complete the process.
