Hi there, @GCGHH.
It isn’t the kind of outcome we want you to get after recovering the password in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Even I would look for further fixes to get my file containing the most important data.
Since QuickBooks Desktop 2015 is no longer supported, you can consider Fiat Lux – ASIA’s recommendation for using a third-party application to recover your company file. Since we’re unable to provide a specific application for your use, you can visit our app store for compatible programs.
Let me know if there’s more you need to know about managing company files. Also, I’m always around the Community if you have more questions about any QuickBooks-related matters. Take care!
