Setting up different users within QuickBooks Pro is one of the many features built into the software. Only the administrative user can perform changes, such as assigning rights to users. Losing your administrative password requires you to remove the old password from the software. Software programs are available from many different manufacturers; however, Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks Pro, offers a free and safe program to remove your forgotten password.
Fill in the information requested in the blanks, including your license number, first and last name, email, phone number and ZIP code. Click the "submit" button after entering all your data. Intuit will verify that your data matches their system data and then allow you to proceed. Review the user agreement and click on "Download."
Open your Web browser and go the Intuit support website. A link is in the Resource section of this article. Select "Reset Your Password" on the lower left side of the page under popular topics. In the next screen, select the QuickBooks software you used to last open the locked file.
Once saved, locate the file and double click it to open the program. Click on "Browse" and locate the locked QuickBooks company file. Select the file and click "Next."
Open your QuickBooks Pro software and select the appropriate company file. Attempt to enter the correct password. Proceed by answering the challenge question. Continue only if you failed to enter the correct password and incorrectly answered the challenge question. Close your QuickBooks software before moving to the next step. Leaving your company file open will cause your password reset tool to fail.
Type the token number into the window for the password reset tool. Type a new password in the second field, followed by repeating the new password in the third field. Click "Next" to proceed. The program may not respond for a few minutes because it is removing the old password from your file.
Locate the email sent from Intuit and open the message. Retrieve the token number included in the email.
