Resetting admin passwords that apply to all users is a convenient feature for every user who manages multiple companies, RZOBill. I encourage you to discuss this with our product developers in QuickBooks Desktop.
Managing passwords across multiple QuickBooks Desktop company files can indeed be challenging, especially when dealing with a large number of files. However, QuickBooks Desktop doesn't offer a built-in tool to automate changing admin passwords or assigning user permissions across multiple company files simultaneously.
What we can do is to manually open each company file and alter the admin password individually. We recognize that this is time-consuming nonetheless, it ensures each file is updated with the new password without issues.
In the meantime, we can share some feedback about this option. This way, they can learn more about the features that business owners need. The more requests we receive, the greater chance they will include it in future updates.
