When I forgot my password I tried the link to reset it. When I enter my info, it says my phone number is not the one I registered with, though after checking my profile it shows that it is correct. Thoughts?

Welcome aboard, weberv2.

 

I'm here to help reset the admin password in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You can reset password using your challenge question within the QuickBooks system.

 

Here's how:

 

1. In the QuickBooks Desktop login screen, click I forgot my password.

2. Answer the security question.

3. Click OK.

4. Click Close.

5. Enter a new password and challenge question.

6. Click OK.

 

If you're unable to reset password through the challenge question, you can use the Automated Password Reset tool. Please follow the outlined steps in this article to download the tool (scroll-down to Reset Admin password using a reset code):

By all accounts, the ability to do that using a challenge question has not been an option for some time as it has been phased out.  In regards to your second suggestion, as stated in my post, which you are replying too, that did not work with the correctly entered information, hence my post.

Hello there weberv2,

 

I appreciate you for sharing your concern about the password reset. However, we have limited tools in this public forum. You can reach out to one of our Phone Support Representatives without letting them perform a screen share. They just need to check the email address associated to your QuickBooks license to successfully reset password through the tool.

 

Please keep me posted. I'll be here to help.

Thanks for joining into this thread. Allow me to help ensure that you're able to reset your QuickBooks password. 

I appreciate you for following the steps provided by my colleague @AlcaeusF to reset your password using challenge questions within the QuickBooks system. Since it's still doesn't work, the other option is you can use the automated password reset tool.

  3. Fill in the QuickBooks license number and business info used when registering QuickBooks, then select Next.
  4. Accept the license agreement. The Automated password reset tool will be downloaded automatically (if automatic download didn't work, select download now).
  5. Run the Automated password reset tool.
  6. Enter the token number received via email.
  7. From QuickBooks Desktop Products drop-down, select the same QuickBooks version.
  8. Select Browse for Company File, then choose the company file that you want to reset the password for.
  9. Enter your New Password, then Confirm New Password.
  10. Select Reset Password to complete the process.

Thanks for coming to the Community for help, @mich19.

 

I appreciate you running the Automated Password Reset tool to fix the problem.


Try resetting the password using a challenge question. Here’s how:

  1. Click the I forgot my password link in the QuickBooks Desktop login screen.
  2. Enter the information asked on the form like license number for the QuickBooks you’re using, name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code used when you purchased the product.
  3. If the information you entered is correct, click OK
  4. Check the code sent to your email. Enter it in QuickBooks at your registered email address.
  5. You’ll be guided by QuickBooks to create a new admin password.

If you continue to get the same result, check the information provided and make sure it matches with what’s in CAMPS. Check out this article for reference: Reset your password for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

That should get you on the right track.


Keep me updated on how that goes. I’m always here to help should you need anything else. Have a good one!

Let's make that we've correctly entered them, Ted. 

 

It's possible that you've added a special character or any letter was entered in lower case instead of upper case. We can reset your password through the I forgot my password link and select the email address so we can reset it from there. 

 

If you have the admin access and need to reset it, you'll need to confirm some information as a security questions. 

The article on how to reset your password was already shared by my colleague above, but I'm going to give them to you again.

 

Please reach out to me if you need more help.

I  transferred files to a new laptop and now cannot get into one of my accounts. This did not have a psssword in the past. I tried to reset this but each time I got a message that my password entered was not strong enough.

Hi mikerj,

 

You will be prompted to set up a password once the application detects that a QuickBooks Desktop company file has sensitive data. Let's make sure your password meets certain requirements.

 

Here are the minimum requirements for strong a password:

  • At least 7 characters (letters, numbers, or special characters)
  • At least 1 number
  • At least 1 uppercase letter

To learn more about the Personally Identifiable Information (PII), you can open this article: Password security for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'll be around if you have any additional questions. Thanks.

Which QB Desktop year version do you have?

I'll make sure you'll be able to reset your password, Karen.

 

In addition to Fiat Lux - ASIA, you'll want to ensure your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is updated to the latest release. This way, we can guarantee the program is running on the newest features and fixes. I'd be glad to guide you how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Select the Update Now tab. 
  3. Click Get Updates to start the download.
  4. When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks and accept the option to install the new release.

 

You can also see this link for more details: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.

 

Once done, you can now reset your admin passwords. If the issue remains, I propose contacting our support team. There, they can add you to the list of affected users who are unable to reset their admin passwords. They can also aid you in the workaround by sending your file to data services for a password reset.

 

I've also added this article that you can read to learn some tips in managing your Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPs) efficiently: Change, manage or update your Intuit account with CAMPs.

 

You're always welcome to come by in the Community space whenever you need help resetting your password or running your business. Our door is always open for you. Have a good one and keep safe!
