Upgraded Quicken 2007 to 2016 and will not open as I do not have a password.  Tried variations of "admin" without success.

    Hi Gregor,

    Welcome to the Reckon Community.

    Strange.
    Usually, the only time you should be asked for a password is if the datafile in 2007 had a password.  And then it is advisable to remove the password before upgrade and re-instigate it in the new version.

    Suggest you do the following:
    1. Go back to the 2007 installation
    2. In your datafile enter a password;
    3. Remove the password.
    4. Validate then SuperValidate the file
    5. Create a new copy of your datafile through File > File Operations > Copy
    6. make a backup of the copied file
    7. Install 2016 and restore the backup.
    Hope this helps.


    regards,
    John
