Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you about the master admin claim in QuickBooks. I've got your back and am always willing to help. Take care always.
How do I make a claim to change master admin? Is there a form to fill out?
The Master Admin listed on my account Sean Lyles was released from the company in March of 2019. I need to get the Master Admin changed to me "Gwyn R Picerne" as I am the owner of the company and I need to access account for tax purposes.
I did dissolve the Sterling Trade Services LLC in June of 2019.
Thank you,
Gwyn Picerne

I was told by Quickbooks that I need to do a Master Admin Claim so that I can change the email address that Is on my account but no longer any good.
I moved and no longer can access the email on my acount and need to change my password and email for my accounts
Are you still able to access as Company Admin?
No. I can't get into anything. It is Quickbooks Pro 2015. and I chose not to pay to keep getting updates as they were more of a hassel as I just wanted the plain quickbooks.
Thank you for getting back to us here in the Community, horsewomankaren.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), it could only have one Master Admin. If you'd want to change the Master Admin role, you must be signed up as the Master Admin to transfer it.
To change the role, the user must be listed as an Admin first. If they’re not, you can choose the Edit to change them to an admin. Once done, you can request to be the primary admin.
For more information about this process, you can read this article: Change your QuickBooks Online master admin user.
I'd also suggest contacting our customer support team. This way, they'll be able to guide you through the whole process of the Master Admin rights.
Here's how:
Let me know if you have any other concerns. I'm always here to help. Wishing you and your business continued success.
You may purchase a 3rd party password removal service as the last resort.
