Resetting QuickBooks Password & Getting Error message..... :/

Thanks for reaching our to the Community for your password concern, @valmol01.

 

The steps shared by Angelyn_T will help you reset the password of your company file. However, if you're still unable to open your company file after performing the said steps, I suggest getting in touch with our Customer Care Team. They have the tools that can isolate this matter and apply a fix.

 

To contact them, you may use a sample company file since you're unable to open your current file. 

 

Here's how you can reach them:

  1. Open QuickBooks. 
  2. From the Help menu, choose QuickBooks Desktop Help
  3. In the search bar, enter Contact Us. Then, hit Contact Us at the bottom. 
  4. Choose the way you wish to contact support (Callback, Chat, Etc.). 

Once resolved, know that you can always utilize this link to guide you in restoring a backup copy of your company file in the QBDT 2021 version: Restore a backup of your company file.

 

Please update me on how things turn out by leaving a reply below. I'll be around to assist you if you need more help. Take care!

I  got the same message. I tried to get help from Customer Service and they were not able to help me.

Then I decided to try to turn FireWall protection off for a few minutes and it worked.

Turning off the firewall allowed me to change the password.
