Hello, abcplumb. 

 

Let's make sure you're able to log in to your QuickBooks Online account. Did you receive any error message when you tried logging in to your account? An error message would definitely help me come up with a solution to fix the login issue. 

 

Also, there are several ways on how we can reset your password. We can access your account through CAMPS to get the full details on what needs to be entered in resetting the password.   

 

Additionally, you can use the I forgot my user ID and password utility to reset your login details. 

 

  1. On the login page, click the I forgot my user ID and password link.
  2. In the box, enter your email address or phone number associated with your account. 
  3. Click Continue.
  4. Continue with the prompts to reset your login details. 

 

If you're still unable to log in after resetting your credentials, you'll want to contact our support. They can pull up your account details securely and help you fix the login issue. 

 

You can use this direct chat link to message a support agent or get a call back from our representative.

I'll keep an eye on your response. Please tag me in the comment section below to further assist you. Stay safe!

We don't want to feel this inconvenience, @PNwanguzo. Please know that helping you with your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) password is our top priority.

 

I'm here to ensure you can reset your password in QuickBooks Desktop. Let me walk you through the detailed steps.

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Click the I forgot my password link.
  3. Fill out the necessary information, like the license number, name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code on the form.
  4. Review the information, then select OK. You'll get a code to the primary email listed in your CAMPS.
  5. Once done, QuickBooks will guide you through creating a new admin password.
     

If it doesn't work, please double-check the information you've entered. And make sure it matches in CAMPS.

 

If you're getting an error or still need to reset your password, let's try using the Automated Password Reset tool. For more guidance, feel free to check out this article: Use the Automated Password Reset Tool for QuickBooks Desktop.

Hi there, carolyn27. 

 

Thank you for posting in this thread. Allow me to help in updating your password so you can access your QuickBooks Online account.

 

We can update your password through Intuit Account manager. Like this:

 

  1. Log in to Intuit Account Manager. Use your QuickBooks sign-in info.
  2. Go to Sign in & security menu.
  3. Select the Password section.
  4. Make your changes.
  5. Once done, hit Save.

 

Also, aside from entering your password, you can sign in and access your account in different ways using just one piece of information, including your user ID, phone number, or email. If you enter your email or phone number and click on Sign in a different way, Intuit will send you a one-time code to that email or phone number to allow you to access your account.

 

If you still can't sign in and update the password, you can check out this article to help you recover your user ID or password: Change your email, user ID, or password for QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Online Accountant, and QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

Let me know if you still need further assistance or have other concerns managing your QuickBooks Online account. Have a great day!
