In case your data file contains critical information or needs to be accessed immediately, you can use the Remove Password feature. Finally, consider using the Remove Password Feature In some cases, reentering the data may be quicker and easier. If your file doesn't contain a lot of information, you may want to consider creating a new file and reentering the data. If the file was created a few days ago, you may need to reenter some data. If the file opens, copy all its files to the folder where you usually keep your data. If you put a password on your data file recently, the password may not be on this backup copy of your data try opening this file. Quicken makes an automatic backup copy of your data every seven days and places it in the Quicken\BACKUP folder. If you don't have a regular backup to restore, try restoring an automatic backup. Rename the password-protected file before you begin so it remains untouched in case you recall the password later or need to send the file to Quicken for password removal. You'll need to manually add any data that you added to the password-protected file since the backup. If you made a backup copy of the file before adding the password, restore that backup. Make sure that the Caps Lock key isn't on, and then retype the password, being careful to use the correct capitalization. If the password contains numbers, make sure your keyboard Num Lock is turned on.
Try all passwords you may have used for Quicken files or for other password-protected functions.
