3. QuickBooks opens the Reset Administrator Password Window; in the fields provided, enter your information provided when QuickBooks was first registered, including your QuickBooks license number, Name (First and Last), Email address, Business telephone number, and Business address Zip code.

4. Click the Next button.
If the information matches, you will be sent an email with a Password Reset code (or access token).
5. Enter the Password Reset code (or access token) and click the Next button. I recommend that you copy the code from the email and paste it into the appropriate field. If you submit an invalid code, you will have to start the entire process over.

You can either retain the new password, or change it normally after QuickBooks opens. If Credit Card Protections are in-force, you will normally be prompted to change the Password again using the standard process for changing the password under the Admin login.
