New Free QB Password Removal Service
The latest Intuit ProConnection newsletter had an announcement of their new free service to remove passwords from data files. To use it, you need to upload your data file and provide your registration license number. It currently only works with QB 2005 and older versions of the program.
I haven’t used it and probably won't because I have been very happy with the speed with which I have been able to unlock QB passwords with the QuickBooks Key program from LostPassword.com. I have used it several times when clients forgot to send me their passwords, which I usually don’t discover until 10 or 11 at night, when I’m working on their stuff. Since there is no file uploading required; so it only takes a minute or so to unlock the files. Unfortunately, they still haven’t updated their program for QB 2006, which more and more of my clients are using.
I have added info on this new free service to the QuickBooks Resource page on my main website.
