Hi there, @Martajpagan

 

Thanks for taking the time to follow the thread. 

 

Are you also having some issues signing into QuickBooks Online? If so, have you tried the above-mentioned troubleshooting steps by my colleague, Joesem M? If not, let's use those steps to try signing in using an incognito/private browser.

 

Here are the steps for all supported browsers: 

 

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • Internet Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • Safari: press Command + Shift + N.

 

If you can log in, let's go ahead and clear the cache from your browser. Web browsers collect cache to save time when loading repetitive data and images. Over time these files can become outdated and corrupted, causing issues like the one you're having with signing in. 

 

Aside from using an incognito or private browser, you can also use a different browser. For example, if you're using Firefox, try Google Chrome. 

 

Let me know if you're able to get signed in. I'll be around if you have further questions or concerns. Take care!

I'm here to help ensure you're able to log in to your QuickBooks Desktop company file, billorlottieeubanks.
 

Before we start, I'd like to verify if you've encountered an error while logging into your QBDT account. If so, there are various reasons why you can't open your company file. Some of them are the following:

 

  • A user logged into the company file is using Remote Access and did not log out from a previous session.
  • The user is already logged into the company file from a different workstation.
  • An electrical problem caused a conflict in the network.

 

Let's run Quick Fix my Program from the QuickBooks Tool Hub. It helps resolve the common errors in your QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

 

  1. Close your QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.5.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  3. Install the downloaded file, then open it.
  4. In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, select Program Problems.
  5. Select Quick Fix my Program.
  6. Open QuickBooks Desktop and reset your password.

 

If you get the same error, restart the server that stores and hosts the company data file.

 

If the issue persists, you can check out this article for more troubleshooting steps: Error: The attempt to log in with the user name Admin failed

 

In addition, I added some links that can help you in fixing issues due to damaged files:

 

 

Stay in touch with me if there's anything you need aside from the log in issue. Just leave a comment below, and I'll get back to you.

I tried it on my end and everything seems to work smoothly @Mandy35. Let's ensure you can log in and get back into business as soon as possible,

 

The stored cache for a long period of time can sometimes cause a problem for your browser. I suggest performing some basic troubleshooting steps to verify if you're experiencing a browser-related issue.

 

Start by logging in to your QuickBooks Self-Employed account through an incognito page. Here are the shortcut keys to open it:

 

  • Press keys: Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome browser)
  • Press keys: Ctrl + Shift + P (Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Edge browsers)
  • Press keys: Command + Shift + N (Safari browser)

 

If it works, then you'll have to clear your regular browser cache. This will prevent any unusual browser behavior moving forward. If the issue continues, kindly try using another supported browser.

 

For future reference, run this module to learn more about handling your QBSE account: QBSE account maintenance hub.

 

Please let us know if you need more assistance with this or QuickBooks generally. We're here to back you up 24/7. Stay safe!

Hello, Kingfisher369.

 

I'd like to verify an error message you've encountered when entering your password for us to help with the fixes. 

 

In the meantime, I recommend logging in to your QuickBooks account using a private browser. This is to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue, and private browsing doesn't store local files or cache. 

 

You can follow my colleagues steps above on how to use keyboard shortcuts based on the browser you're using. 

 

If you still get the same error message, I suggest checking this article to learn how to reset your password or recover your user ID for QuickBooks Online.

 

Please feel free to post an update below if you have additional questions. I'll be more than happy to help you at any time. Have a great day!
