Forgetting your QuickBooks admin password can be a frustrating setback, but resetting it is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you regain access to your QuickBooks company file.

Open QuickBooks Desktop: Launch your QuickBooks Desktop application.

Navigate to the Login Screen: On the login screen, select the “I forgot my password” option.

Verify Your Identity: Enter your QuickBooks username or email address associated with your admin account. QuickBooks will send a password reset link to your email.

Follow the Link: Check your email for the password reset link. Click on it to be directed to a page where you can create a new password.

Create a New Password: Choose a strong, unique password and confirm it by entering it twice. Make sure it meets QuickBooks’ password requirements.

Log In: Return to QuickBooks and log in with your new password.

If you encounter issues or do not receive the reset link, you might need to contact QuickBooks support for further assistance. Keeping your contact details up-to-date can prevent future access problems.
