Locked out of QB Desktop 2020

I have just installed QB 2020 and while restoring my Company File I was asked for a a User Name and password.  User Name was Admin so I left it as is, I made a password and logged out and when I tried to log in again I had a continuing error on my password.  My password is correct the problem is it is showing a User Name other that Admin so how do I change that.  Usually there is a link for forgot my User Name, there is not.  How can I get in?

Thanks

  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop on your computer. Then, click the I forgot my password link at the login window
  2. Fill out the needed information. One of these is the license number. You can press F2 from the login window to see your license number.
  3. The NameEmail Address, Phone Number, and ZIP code you originally used when you purchased the product. You can log in to CAMPS to find all these requirements.
  4. Once everything is done, click OK. You'll receive a code at the email address you registered in QuickBooks.
  5. Afterward, get the code from your email and enter it in book. It'll guide us through the process of creating the new password.

 

Aside from that, you can also use the Automated Password Reset Tool for QuickBooks Desktop. In this process, we will need to go to this link and download the version of the product that you're using.
