Administrator Password Recovery Service for Quickbooks

Our Administrator Password Recovery service resets the Admin password on your QuickBooks company file so you can get back into your own books. When the administrator password to a company file is lost and no one can open it as Admin, our engineers reset the Admin user's password in the file and return it to you ready to open.

What this service does

The service resets the Admin username's password in your QuickBooks company data file (.QBW) so you can open the file as the Administrator again. This is an account-recovery service for the legitimate owner of the file -- it is not a way to bypass security on a file you do not own. We do not crack or expose passwords; we reset the Admin login so the rightful owner regains access.

What we can help with

  • Resetting or recovering the Administrator password on a locked company file
  • Error recovery for: "Cannot add the user because a user with that name already exists"

How it works

  • Step 1: Fill out the Administrator Password Recovery Service for QuickBooks form.
  • Step 2: We send you instructions by email to send us your data file securely.
  • Step 3: We reset the Admin username's password in your QuickBooks company file.
  • Step 4: We send you a download link for the recovered data file.

What to expect after recovery

To open the company file once it is returned, use the username Admin and leave the password blank, then set a new password of your own from inside QuickBooks. Keep that new password somewhere safe so you are not locked out again. If other user accounts existed in the file, they remain in place -- only the Admin login is reset.

Verifying ownership

Because this service restores access to a protected file, it is intended for the owner of the company file. We ask for enough information to be confident the file is yours before we return it. This protects you and keeps the service from being misused.

If you are locked out of your own QuickBooks company file, our QuickBooks data recovery team can reset the Admin password and return a file you can open. All work is done in-house in North America and backed by our no-data, no-charge guarantee. Start a recovery to send us your file securely.
