I'm locked out of my account

Hi there, @jsun-ptd-net.

Have you been locked out of your account after failed login attempts? If so, fixing this is quick and easy.

Once locked out, you'll see the following message: You have tried to sign in more than 5 times. After you see this, you can continue to sign-in by entering the special code below the message.

The code is made up of characters that are a CAPTCHA code to secure your account from unauthorized access from automated bots.

1. Type the letters and/or numbers that appear squashed or distorted.
2. Enter the correct user ID and password on the sign-in page.

If you're having trouble remembering your user ID or password, you can reset your password or recover your user ID.

Here's how:

1. Go to the QuickBooks Online sign-in page.
2. Select I forgot my user ID or Password.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

If you used your email address or user ID to verify your account, you'll get an email with a password reset link.

However, if the issue persists, you can contact our QuickBooks Support. This way, we can check your login credentials and accounts in QuickBooks Online.

You can follow these steps on how:

1. Go to the Help icon.
2. Click the Contact Us button.
3. Enter your concern in the field, then hit Let's talk.
4. Select either Start a chat or Get a call.
5. Fill up all the information needed.
6. Click Submit or Confirm my call.

To ensure we address your concern on time, please check our support hours.

I cannot reset with an email to my email because another company's email is in my account. Technicians say they cannot override or talk to the company whose email it is. I spoke with her so I don't understand why the technicians cannot to straighten this out. I should not have to re-enter 3 months of work because someone else's  email address is now in my account.

How do i Get access to quickbooks if my employer has locked  me out because I no longer work there? I have tried calling him and talking about this but he doesnt answer any of my calls. I need my w2 information of the quickbooks app but i cannot even login.

Hi there,

Allow me to help you to put you on the right path to make sure you get your W2 information.

I'd suggest contacting our payroll team. They have the necessary tools to assist you further in a safe and secure environment and options on what to do to get your W2 without accessing your QuickBooks.

I'll be around if you have other questions or concerns about payroll. I'm always around to help!
